Rich Dad Poor Dad Book By Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. Defend the importance of financial education (financial education), financial independence, and wealth creation through investment in assets, real estate investment, startup, and business ownership, as well as increasing financial intelligence (financial IQ) to improve business and financial fitness. Robert Kiyosaki is best known for his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the No. 1 sales success of the New York Times. Robert Kiyosaki followed the book with the Rich Dad Cash Flow Quadrant and the Rich Dad Investment Guide. He had at least a dozen books published.
Rich Father Poor Father is written in the style of a set of parables, apparently based on Kiyosaki’s life. The “rich father” holder is the father of his friend who accumulated wealth due to entrepreneurship and intelligent investment, while it is said that the “poor father” is Kiyosaki’s own father, who he said worked hard all his life but never obtained financial security. No one has proven that Rich Dad, the man who supposedly gave Kiyosaki all his advice for a rich life, ever existed. Nor has anyone documented large reserves of wealth obtained by Kiyosaki before the publication of Rich Dad, Poor Dad in 1997.
