Description
“Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!” by Robert T. Kiyosaki is the #1 bestselling personal finance book of all time. Nearly 25 years after its first release, it continues to transform the way people think about money, wealth, and financial freedom. Translated into dozens of languages and sold globally, this groundbreaking book has become a cornerstone in financial education.
At the heart of Rich Dad Poor Dad is Kiyosaki’s own life story—growing up with two father figures: his real father (his “Poor Dad”) and the father of his best friend (his “Rich Dad”). Through their opposing philosophies, Kiyosaki reveals how attitudes toward money, investing, and financial independence are shaped from an early age.
The book debunks the myth that earning a high income is the key to wealth and instead emphasizes the importance of financial literacy, investing in assets, and making your money work for you. It challenges conventional beliefs—such as the idea that your home is always an asset—and highlights why the traditional education system fails to teach real-world financial skills.
In the 20th Anniversary Edition, Kiyosaki reflects on two decades of economic shifts, offering updated insights on money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book provide “fast forward” commentary on how the original lessons have held up over time—often proving even more relevant today.
