Robert
Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international
runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on
the New York Times bestsellers list for over six
years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator
whose perspectives on money and investing fly
in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually
single-handedly, challenged and changed the way
tens of millions, around the world, think about
money.
OVER 6 YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER
LIST!
- November 2007 -
In
communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice
- get a good job, save money, get out of debt,
invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad'
(both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has
earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence
and courage.
Rich
Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller
on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's
Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The
Wall Street Journal and USA Today - and was named
"USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years
in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to'
best seller of all time.
Translated
into 51 languages and available in 109 countries,
the Rich Dad series has sold over 27 million copies
worldwide and has dominated best sellers lists
across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico
and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into
Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's
Top 25 Authors. There are currently 26 books in
the Rich Dad series.
In
2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author
Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message.
It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers
list.
Robert
writes a bi-weekly column - 'Why the Rich Are
Getting Richer' - for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly
column titled 'Rich Returns' for Entrepreneur
magazine.
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. It was those
same strategies that allowed Robert to retire
at age 47.
Today
there are more that 2,100 CASHFLOW Clubs - game
groups independent of the Rich Dad Company - in
cities throughout the world.
Born
and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation
Japanese-American. After graduating from college
in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and
served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter
gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert went
to work in sales for 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.
In 1994 Robert sold his business and, through
his investments, was able to retire at the age
of 47. During his short-lived retirement he wrote
Rich Dad Poor Dad.
"We
go to school to learn to work hard for money.
I write books and create products that teach people
how to have money work hard for them." --
