What points would be crucial when creating an app for rich people?


for some time now I've been thinking about creating something aimed at wealthy people, but apart from the financial part, what points would interest them the most? what are they really looking for on the internet that still somehow doesn't satisfy them?

A location based app that gives the social status & brief bio of the people nearby. Like if they were at a fancy party, it could tell them if a movie star or a forbes 400 member was there.

There was a time that a simple purple diamond image on an iPhone was enough. It is akin to the duct tape banana art that recently sold.

What amuses the wealthy people you'd like to target?

This post made me have a good laugh. Sounds like a startup mentor advice, "you should sell to rich people!".

Do you think rich people install more apps than poor people? Rich people use tech just like everyone else, productivity apps, google apps, apple apps, social media. Most common than not, use less in place of more apps.

Do you want to create something that has more value for rich people? Work on the privacy and security area.

Ask Scrooge McDuck. He'll tell you, look out for cliches and how to full fill them.

Same question is what to make as q present if they've already have everything possible.

as a poor, you have no idea what they care about.

hint: money can't buy time. but it can save them time. So approach from that angle.

Actual peer-to-peer distributed networking, think torrents or crypto or IPFS, but you have to have proof of net worth (PoNeWo), or at least proof of class connection (PoNePo) in order to participate.

Also they clearly need a matchmaking system for putting them in touch with unhoused individuals and other poors who are sufficiently motivated to play the most dangerous games.

They aren’t going to buy it. They don’t need it. Sorry
