Robert T. Kiyosaki

Robert T. Kiyosaki is a best-selling author, investor, entrepreneur, and educator, who has challenged conventional wisdom about money and investing. He is best known for his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, which has been a #1 New York Times bestseller and held a top spot on the bestseller lists for over six years. The book has been translated into 51 languages and is available in 109 countries, selling over 27 million copies worldwide. Kiyosaki has written 26 books in the Rich Dad series, which has dominated bestseller lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico, and Europe.

In 2005, Robert Kiyosaki was inducted into Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's Top 25 Authors. He writes a bi-weekly column for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column for Entrepreneur magazine. Prior to writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101 to teach individuals financial and investment strategies. He served in the Marine Corps as a helicopter gunship pilot during the Vietnam War and worked in sales for Xerox Corporation before starting his own company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. In 1985, Kiyosaki founded an international education company, which he sold in 1994, allowing him to retire at the age of 47.

Kiyosaki's perspectives on money and investing challenge conventional wisdom. He believes that 'old' advice, such as getting a good job, saving money, getting out of debt, investing for the long term, and diversifying, is flawed and obsolete. Instead, he advocates for financial education and taking control of one's financial destiny. His books and educational materials aim to teach individuals how to build wealth and achieve financial freedom.

In addition to his Rich Dad series, Kiyosaki has co-authored books with other notable figures, such as Donald Trump. Their book, Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message, debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list. Kiyosaki's work has had a significant impact on tens of millions of people around the world, inspiring them to think differently about money and take action to improve their financial situation.
