5.0 out of 5 stars Give This Book A Chance
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017
I enjoyed/ liked this book. Not everyone will like the book "Why The Rich Are Getting Richer" by Robert T. Kiyosaki (financial commentator/ financial education coach) and tax expert Tom Wheelwright, CPA (Rich Dad Adviser). There are a lot of people who will not like this book. This book is 292 pages long. It is a fast/ quick, entertaining, fun, interesting, educational, informative, engaging, and engrossing read. Children/ kids, teenagers, college students, and young adults will enjoy this book. I dog eared many pages and highlighted many sentences and paragraphs to look at and refer to later. If you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad this new book is not overly repetitive. This book gives tax advice that will make you think. You learn thinks about Robert Kiyosaki and his wife Kim Kiyosaki that you did not know before. Charts and graphs appear no more than two/ 02 or three/ 03 times and are always relevant and enlightening. You learn interesting things about real estate and financial securities investing. What this book ("Why The Rich Are Getting Richer") is missing/ lacks is 25/ twenty-five. real life examples of real life billionaires using Robert Kiyosaki's wealth building methods/ strategies all around the world to get rich/ wealthy, and increase, protect, and pass on (inheritance) large sums of wealth/ money/ riches. Robert Kiyosaki needs to do video and audio interviews with real life billionaires for the public to see. I don't know if Robert Kiyosaki is a crook, scam artist, fraud, confidence man, hustler, charlatan, scoundrel, hack, genius, the smartest guy in the room, visionary, do gooder, angel, or God send, you will have to decide for yourself. Rich Dad TV, which you learn about in the back of the book and can be seen online could use longer, lengthier videos.

Robert Kiyosaki's real life rich dad in Hawaii was Richard Wassman Kimi (real estate and hotel multi-millionaire) and Rich Dad's son and Robert Kiyosaki's childhood and life long friend was Alan Kimi. Robert interviewed Alan Kimi on the Rich Dad Channel on YouTube.com and Rich Dad Radio online. Thank you for reading my review.

I love the way Mr. Kiyosaki writes. . . he explains complicated things so simply that a 6 year old can understand. My 3 biggest takaways from this writing are
1) Understand the history of money manipulation sine 1913 when the Federal Reserve Bank and US tax department were created.
2) A very simple and clear explaination of Assets and Liabilities that I can use to explain . . . Assest and Liabilities to my children and investors.
3) Getting the right education, but more importantly cultivating an attitude of appreciation, a spirit of humilty, and love of learning.

A safe & profitable way to apply what we have learned is to be an apprentice or partner up with someone who has done and achieved the desired results that you want to achieve.

A fantastic follow up book to Rich Dad Poor Dad.

I couldn't stop reading and studying this book. It took a few day to get through the book, but I'm glad I took the time to study it. I can say this though, if you hadn't read and put to action the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad, read it first and put the principles to work in your life. Then read this one because you might get lost of you can not understand key concepts discussed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a worthy read
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022
Having read this immediately after another re-read of Rich Dad, Poor Dad... I can assure everyone saying that it's just more of the same that they need to read it again. Yes, it is, but it greatly expands on the same concepts and introduces new ones. Graduate school indeed.

Just read it. Definitely a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enough new/interesting material to recommend reading! - Try your local libray before buying!
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
This book had enough new information that it's worth reading - I would guesstimate it's about 25% new stuff.

I guess I should qualify myself first - I'm a 65 male pharmacist (and my wife is a 60 year old pharmacist as well - she works at Eli Lilly). When we got married we had a negative net worth of around $50,000 (this was in 1982). I've owned several rental properties (mostly single family but some bigger stuff too). I've been both lucky and good - my most recent net worth is around 2.5 million. I did learn quite a bit from my maternal grandfather about how to run a business (he had several plus rental stuff - he owned the post office building, a small strip mall, a car repair garage, etc.) but I still had to APPLY what he taught me.

Kiyoskai's books are all over the place and he needs a editor to organize his thoughts but they can be useful especially as motivation tools. Far too many people know what to do but never take the first step. And then they are the others (like my wife) who are just afraid to take the risk. One of my business failures was Dinner by Design where I learned that I needed to have the final say in all matters.

So - I would say to those who want to climb the net worth mountain - read all you can and talk with those who have done what you want to do. You will find most successful people want to give advice - in fact I enjoy it quite a lot. I have 4 people I'm advising now - it's looking quite good for 2 of them.

I liked this book but do recommend you try to find it at you local library first - no reason to pay for it unless you will refer to it from time to time.

I would rate this book at a good solid level of 7.5 to 8.0 out of 10!

This author explains the paths and choices in earning income and investing better than I've read or seen from anyone else. Each path in life, or investment choice, leads down it's own road in terms of outcomes. It is so refreshing for me to have this new perspective on my choices in earning income and in life.
