Robert Kiyosaki - Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert Kiyosaki is an investor, entrepreneur, educator, and author. 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 worked for the Xerox Corporation in sales. In 1977, he started a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. And in 1985 he founded an international education company that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994 Robert sold his business and through his investments & real estate deals, was able to retire at the age of 47.
During his short-lived retirement, Robert wrote the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, which to date has sold over 17 million copies worldwide. The success of Rich Dad Poor Dad paved the way for the Rich Dad series of books - currently nine books in total. Most all of these books have earned spots on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, USA Today and others. Prior to becoming a bestselling author, 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. Hundreds of “CASHFLOW Clubs,” independent of The Rich Dad® Company, have sprung up throughout the world. Thousands of people get together on a regular basis and play CASHFLOW 101. With the launch of the electronic version of CASHFLOW 101, members of the Rich Dad community around the world can unite in playing and learning together - on-line. CASHFLOW 202, the advanced game, is now gaining great popularity in both the board game and electronic versions. In Robert's words, "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. Then they can enjoy the luxuries of this great world we live in." The Rich Dad Company is the collaborative effort of Robert Kiyosaki, Kim Kiyosaki, and Sharon Lechter who, in 1997, set out to elevate the financial literacy of people throughout the world.
