Robert
Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American
who grew up in Hawaii. He joined the Marine
Corps after graduating from college in New
York, and went to Vietnam as an officer
and helicopter gunship pilot. After the
war, Robert went to work for the Xerox Corporation
and in 1977 started a company that brought
the first nylon Velcro surfer wallets to
market. Feeling that he had something important
to teach, Robert founded a new company in
1985 to teach business and investing to
tens of thousands of students throughout
the world.
At
the age of 47 Robert retired from his
business to devote time to writing, and
in 1997 published the #1 New York Times
best seller, Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Soon afterward he wrote Rich Dad's
Cashflow Quadrant, Rich Dad's Guide
to Investing, and Rich Kid Smart
Kid. |

main reason people
struggle financially is
because they have spent
