I am sure by now you would have at least heard of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books by Robert Kiyosaki.
The series, starting in 1999 with the book , it has grown to 15 books and sales in excess of 26 million copies world wide!
The central concept of the Rich Dad Poor Dad Books, and more specifically the first book, is a comparison of his “two fathers”. His “poor dad” who was his biological father, who became Superintendent of the Hawaii State Department of Education but had very little real net worth. Contrasted with this is his “rich dad” advocates tax-advantaged investment vehicles, such as real estate or businesses, rather than ownership of securities.

If you are looking to buy one of the Rich Dad Poor Dad Books, then let me recommend my favourites:
– Provides the basics and will give you a great overview of Roberts style of thinking.
– Robert’s prediction of a financial collapse due to an aging workforce.
