Biography

About

Robert Toru Kiyosaki was born April 8, 1947, and built a personal finance empire on a simple premise: the lessons of "Rich Dad" versus "Poor Dad." He founded the Rich Dad Company to spread that gospel through books and videos, then Rich Global LLC to scale the seminars. Rich Global filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Attendees of those seminars sued him in a class action, and investigative documentaries by the CBC, WTAE-TV, and CBS News followed. The man who promised financial independence became a case study in the gap between the doctrine and the fine print.
