Robert Kiyosaki
Robert Kiyosaki is an American entrepreneur, author, and speaker who is best known for his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad". Born in 1947 in Hawaii, Kiyosaki started his career as a salesman for Xerox Corporation before founding his own company in the 1980s.
Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a personal finance classic that has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book focuses on Kiyosaki's experience growing up with two dads – his real dad (who was highly educated but struggled financially) and his best friend's dad (who didn't have a formal education but was very successful in business).
The book outlines the differences in mindset and approach to money between the two dads, and provides readers with practical advice on how to build wealth and achieve financial independence. Kiyosaki's teachings often emphasize the importance of financial education, investing in assets that generate passive income, and building businesses.
In addition to "Rich Dad Poor Dad", Kiyosaki has authored numerous other books on personal finance and investing, and has also developed a series of educational games and programs aimed at teaching financial literacy. Despite some controversy surrounding his teachings and methods, Kiyosaki has undoubtedly had a significant impact on the personal finance and self-help industries, and continues to be a highly sought-after speaker and author.
