Robert Kiyosaki
Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor
Dad," is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator
whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the
face of conventional wisdom.
In arguing that "old" advice -- get a
good job, work hard, save money, get out of debt, and
invest for the long term -- is obsolete and flawed, he
has earned a reputation for straight talk,
irreverence, and courage.
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" is the
longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists
that report to Publisher's Weekly magazine: The New
York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and
BusinessWeek. It has held a top spot on The New York
Times list bestseller list for nearly five years and
was USA Today's #1 money book for 2004.
Translated into 44 languages and available in 80
countries, the "Rich Dad" series has sold
over 20 million copies worldwide and has dominated
bestseller lists across Asia, Australia, South
America, Mexico, and Europe. In 2005, Robert was
inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of
the bookseller's Top 25 Authors. There are currently
12 books in the "Rich Dad" series.
Prior to writing "Rich Dad Poor Dad,"
Robert created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101
to teach individuals the financial and investment
strategies that his rich dad spent years teaching him.
Hundreds of "CASHFLOW Clubs" -- game groups
independent of the Rich Dad Company -- have sprung up
throughout the world.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a
fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating
from college in New York, he joined the Marine Corps
and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter
gunship pilot. Following the war he went to work in
sales for the Xerox Corporation and, in 1977, started
a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro
"surfer wallets" to market. He founded an
international education company in 1985 that taught
business and investing to tens of thousands of
students throughout the world. He sold his business in
1994 and, through his investments, was able to retire
at the age of 47.
