Robert Kiyosaki: look closely at his copyright page
("Rich Kid, Poor Kid") and you will discover Robert Kiyosaki 's books are fictionalized. Searches of
records in areas where he claims to own a lot of real estate show only two
properties, both in the Phoenix area. One was a very modest home where he lived until he
published his first book. The second was an expensive home, that he bought for himself after he published that book. Sounds like he
made no money before writing that book.
Robert Kiyosaki also claims to hold substantial interests
in numerous companies, but there do not appear to be any records to
substantiate this, either. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", the first book by Robert Kiyosaki, though
inspirational and great for getting people fired up, is full of
misinformation, contradictions and even illegal suggestions
(like insider trading - click on his link, above, to learn more). His "Poor Dad" (Ralph Kiyosaki) was not poor,
and his "Rich Dad" is a work of fiction. By all means, read his books if you
need to get pumped for success. But don't try following too many of his ideas
or you could land in trouble with the IRS or Justice Department. Frankly, we
find no legitimate purpose for fictionalizing a "how to" book, except to
deceive people into believing you have credentials on the subject.
