"This is one of the most amazing books by Mr. Kiyosaki I've read. From beginning to end it's a page turner. I studied this book inside and out. I've learned more about financial literacy and intelligence just by reading this book and the others in his book serise. I've been applying what he teaches for years and I have definitely been experiencing the benefits. Thank you Mr. Kiyosaki! You are my Rich Dad and I'm your student for life."

Merecco T., Amazon reviewer

Start minding your own business. Keep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities or personal effects that have no real value once you get them home. A new car loses nearly 25 percent of the price you pay for it the moment you drive it off the lot. It is not a true asset even if your banker lets you list it as one. My $400 new titanium driver was worth $150 the moment I teed off.

Reagan D., Amazon reviewer

The history of taxes and the power of corporation

Was Robin Hood a saint or a crook? How you answer that question could explain your financial status. Understand why it's the poor and middle-class that pays the most in taxes and how to pay taxes like the rich instead.

"I was glued to "Why The Rich Are Getting Richer" by Robert Kiyosaki and his Contributor/ CPA Tom Wheelwright on an airplane. This eye-opening financial education guidebook gives practical wealth-building tips that we were never taught in school, and my life would be totally different if I knew this info when I was 20. The "Tax Lessons from Tom" are also very helpful, and explain how to use good debt versus bad debt to build wealth. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to build wealth."

Liz K., Amazon reviewer

Rich Dad Poor Dad was worth more than my entire Undergraduate degree. Working on my MBA now, yet I receive a better education through your books. Please turn this into an audiobook!!"

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author

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.
