Author of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' has accumulated debt of about one billion euros

SIC Notícias3 September 2026 at 20:56

The author of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Robert Kiyosaki, accumulates an estimated debt of about one billion euros. This information comes at a time when Kiyosaki is frequently criticized on social media for his personal financial situation.

The American author defends that this is "good debt", distinguishing it from other types of indebtedness. According to his financial philosophy, this debt results from loans specifically taken out to invest in income-generating assets.

Kiyosaki uses this debt for multiple financial purposes, including purchasing income-generating assets, reducing tax burden and increasing his net worth. This approach is part of the philosophy he promotes in his books and financial training courses.

The situation contrasts with the messages he frequently shares on social media, where he warns his followers about the dangers of excessive indebtedness and the accumulation of unnecessary expenses.
