If you’ve ever searched “best personal finance books to read” on Google, you’ve most likely seen the title “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” appear at the very top. The book, written by Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon L. Lechter, has reportedly sold more than 32 million copies in 51 languages across 109 countries since it was published in 2002.

“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” is an allegorical story about Robert Kiyosaki and his two dads, and how growing up with them shaped his financial views. The “poor dad” is Kiyosaki’s biological father, a highly educated college professor. The “rich dad” is Kiyosaki’s best friend’s father, a wealthy entrepreneur who owns dozens of businesses. Both dads offer conflicting advice on money.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money. In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today - and was named "USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to' best seller of all time.
