Robert Toru Kiyosaki (born 1947) is an American entrepreneur, investor, and author whose groundbreaking book Rich Dad Poor Dad transformed the way millions of people think about money, wealth, and financial independence. Drawing on lessons learned from two father figures—his own highly educated but financially struggling father and the self-made millionaire father of his best friend—Kiyosaki crystallized a set of principles about assets, liabilities, and cash flow that challenged conventional wisdom and ignited a worldwide movement in financial literacy.
A fourth-generation Japanese-American raised in Hawaii, Kiyosaki served in the U.S. Marine Corps before launching a career in business and education. Through the Rich Dad Company, he has delivered financial education to audiences in every corner of the globe via bestselling books, board games, seminars, and multimedia programs. The Rich Dad Poor Dad series has sold tens of millions of copies in dozens of languages, making it one of the best-selling personal finance franchises in publishing history.
As a featured author in the Nightingale-Conant library, Robert Kiyosaki's audio programs distill his hard-won insights into practical, actionable strategies for building wealth, achieving financial freedom, and developing the entrepreneurial mindset that separates the financially independent from those trapped in the rat race.
