ABOUT THE AUTHOR:


Robert Kiyosaki is an investor, entrepreneur, educator, and author of
Rich Dad Poor Dad, the USA Today #1 Money Book for 2003 and 2004.

The success of Rich Dad Poor Dad paved the way for the Rich Dad series of books – currently ten books in total. Most all of these books have earned spots on the The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, USA Today and other bestseller lists.

The Rich Dad series has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, has been translated into over 40 languages, and is available in 80 countries. Rich Dad Poor Dad has held a top spot on bestseller lists in Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and across Asia.

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. Hundreds of “CASHFLOW Clubs” – independent of The Rich Dad® Company – have sprung up throughout the world and thousands of people get together in their communities on a regular basis and play CASHFLOW 101. The CASHFLOW board game is produced in seven languages.

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 the Xerox Corporation and then in 1977 he 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. It was during his short-lived retirement that Robert wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad.

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."
