Not only outrageously priced but utility-wise these five apps on Google Play Store are also the most worthless.

Anything that's free is always welcome, especially if it is a really cool and useful smartphone app. The Google Play Store is full of great free apps. Popular apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, Death Race, Pool Master Pro, MX Player, Skype and many more are available to users for free.

But it's not necessary that the best apps are available for free. Some utility apps and game apps are paid and offer a bang for users buck. Apps such as Cut the Rope, GTA III, Camera Zoom FX, Beautiful Widgets, and many more are available for a price.

The price charged for these apps is usually reasonable and something that users can afford to pay. There are however a bunch of apps that are outrageously priced and targeted at those that have so much money they don't know what to spend it on.

Some apps may just act as a social status symbol, some have utility for the select few and the others are downright silly. So here are 5 outrageously priced apps on the Google Play store.
