Two dads, two contrasting financial philosophies, and a path to lasting wealth.
Reading guide
Rich Dad Poor Dad is the first book in the Rich Dad series. Subsequent volumes build upon the financial principles introduced here.
The series chronicles Robert Kiyosaki's personal journey of learning about money from his two fathers, contrasting their radically different worldviews on wealth and work, and distills those lessons into practical advice for achieving financial independence.

Description

Rich Dad Poor Dad is the cornerstone of the Rich Dad series, a transformative personal finance book series that has reshaped how millions view money. Author Robert T. Kiyosaki draws on his own childhood experiences with two father figures: his highly educated but financially struggling 'poor dad,' and his best friend's entrepreneur father, the 'rich dad.' These two influences provide contrasting lessons in business, economics, and investing that form the backbone of a financial education rarely taught in schools.

The Rich Dad series continues beyond this foundational volume, exploring topics like cash flow, investing strategies, and the mindset shift needed to escape the rat race. Rooted in the business and economics genre, the series delivers practical personal finance techniques wrapped in engaging storytelling. Each book in the series reinforces the core message that true wealth comes not from a high income but from financial literacy and asset building.

With over 36 million copies sold globally across English and translated editions, the Rich Dad series has become a perennial bestseller and a touchstone for those seeking financial freedom. It challenges conventional beliefs-like the idea that your home is an asset-and redefines how readers understand debt, income, and investing. For anyone ready to take control of their financial future, this personal finance series offers a clear, actionable roadmap.
