As Robert Kiyosaki grew up, he had the unique opportunity of having two father figures in his life who imparted financial advice. One was his actual father — aka “poor dad” — who was educated and worked for others all his life. The other was the father of his best friend — aka “rich dad” — who opted for entrepreneurship instead of formal education.
Kiyosaki’s experience with the two men led him to write several books based on money and investing and how to get rich — or at least as close as you can. Published over two decades ago, Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” continues to reign as one of the top-selling personal finance books. His unique perspectives on money revealed in the book and his financial success are the result of being mentored by his rich dad, and results in being one of our favorite personal finance books.
