Learn how and why professional investors increase the velocity of their money, rather than park it.

Addicted to these now. It just makes sense, but you need to hear it from a person that is the master at simplifying complex concepts.”

Juan B., Amazon reviewer

“In this book Robert Kiyosaki explains why saving your money is a bad idea. It explains how you are losing money by keeping it parked. We all have been told to save our money, but hardly does anybody tell us to invest our money. I would highly recommend it this book.”

Jorge, Amazon reviewer

“This provides a very easy to understand description of this subject matter.....it was great for me as i knew nothing about investing. I'm going to buy more books by this author for sure!”

Rob S., Amazon reviewer

This book is not written for people who want easy answers. If you like the overly simplified financial answers most people are willing to accept, then this book is probably not for you. My answers may seem too hard or too difficult for most people. This book is written for those who want to take more control over their money and make a lot more money with their money. While putting money into a retirement plan for the long term might be a good idea for average investors, to me, it is a slow, risky, inefficient, and highly taxed way to invest.

“Yet another great book from Robert, he tells it like it is and makes you think differently about retirement. As they say knowledge is power and not knowing is quite scary - we must take action for ourselves and our own futures. This is one book I'll keep in my library for sure, worth reading twice.”

Lori, Amazon reviewer

“I loved this book! It was recomended by a close friend that is like my rich dad, I've read his others, but this one is great as far as people needing to know where their money is going. I also recommend all of his other books as well. It is a must buy for people willing to financially free themselves!”

Tim D., Amazon reviewer

“Cover to cover of knowledge. I love it i feel empowered and more wealthy. Its a must read for all entrepreneurs.”

Who Took My Money Author

Robert Kiyosaki standing by a private jet in an airplane hanger

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.

In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.
