Robert T.Kiyosaki born and raised in Hawaii. After finishing his secondary at Hilo High school, he attended tertiary at New York U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. In January 1972, he worked as helicopter gun pilot in Vietnam War. His task was to protect troop transport helicopter from enemy. Later he served as top-secret information officer which helped to interpret the information during the war.
After returning from Vietnam War, he choose to work as a salesman for Xerox printing and photocopying company instead of as pilot which offer him higher salary initially compare to a salesman. He listen to his rich dad advice that in order to be rich, he need to learn how to sell first. He choose Xerox because training is provided.
In 1977, he quit the job after he manage to become a top salesman. He started his nylon and Velcro wallet business. He did well in the nylon business but facing serious pirated version of nylon wallet. He didn’t patent and make trademark for his business and in the end he folded up.
The failure did not make him give up to become rich. In 1981, he rebuild his business with trademark this time. A brand is given to the wallet produced. He solved the problem of pirated producer by giving license to them to produce for him instead of going against them.
After 3 years, he sold his share of the rock and roll nylon business to his partners. He and his wife, Kim started a business education company. They successfully built a multinational business education company. In 1994, Kim and Robert sell the business and retired with enough passive income to support their life. 
After 2 years of retired, they felt bored and therefore invented Cashflow board game which brought financial education. This is followed by Rich Dad Poor Dad in 1997 with self-publish. We all get to know him through this book which hit the best seller in Wall Street Journal, USA Today and New York Times simultaneously. There are still many books produced by him under Rich Dad series hit best seller.
Currently I am following Increase Your Financial IQ by Robert T.Kiyosaki. Some of his fans said that his books are repetitive which I agreed too. You can find that he keep on repeat the same thing in one or another books. Maybe this is due to his frequent publishing new books. In his books, he mention that when he need money, he will publish a book. This is the only thing that I dislike from him.
Robert T.Kiyosaki has his own way of money investment and money management which I can accept and understand. Many readers critic that his books are not realistic, no step by step guidance. Well, I don’t care. Every times I finish his books, my financial knowledge increase and perception towards money changed. I satisfy with the increment. I like his way of delivering simple and easy understanding message to his readers. Undeniable, this make him a best selling author.
