About the book

It's been nearly 25 years since Robert Kiyosaki’sRich Dad Poor Dadfirst made waves in the Personal Finance arena.
It has since become the #1 Personal Finance book of all time... translated into dozens of languages and sold around the world.



Rich Dad Poor Dadis Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.



20 Years... 20/20 Hindsight

In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we’ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers “fast forward” — from 1997 to today — as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time.


In many ways, the messages ofRich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were 20 years ago.


As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective.


Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.

    Was soll ich sagen: ich habe jahrelang einen gewaltigen Bogen um dieses Buch gemacht, weil ich schon, aufgrund des Clickbait Titels den Eindruck hatte, es ist wieder eins der unzähligen Laber-Bücher aus dem Selfhelp-Bereich, aber dann hat mir mein Arbeitskollege das Buch empfohlen und ausgeliehen (!!) "weil es ja so gut ist und einem eine andere Sicht auf das Leben gibt". Zum Glück habe ich mir das nicht gekauft. Bereits ab den ersten Seiten empfand ich den Ton als irritierend, da der Autor aus meiner Sicht wiederholt ein negatives Bild von gut ausgebildeten Menschen und abhängig Beschäftigten zeichnet. So sagt er auch ganz befremdlich, dass es nicht notwendig sei, zur Schule zu gehen, weil man in der Schule nichts über finanzielle Freiheit und Geld lernen würde 🤯 ja, sowas sagt er (auch in Interviews). Die zentrale Aussage des Buches lautet: Besitz lässt sich in zwei Kategorien einteilen. Vermögenswerte, die laufend Geld einbringen, und Ausgabenposten, die dauerhaft Geld kosten. Erklärung: Einkommen entsteht demnach vor allem durch Unternehmen, Investitionen oder Tantiemen, während etwa selbstgenutzte Immobilien oder Fahrzeuge primär Kosten verursachen. Daraus leitet der Autor die Empfehlung ab, möglichst Vermögenswerte aufzubauen, die einen positiven Cashflow erzeugen. Wer ausschließlich auf Lohn oder Gehalt angewiesen ist, verbleibt laut Buch in einem dauerhaften Kreislauf aus Einkommen und Konsum. Das hat schon seine Richtigkeit. Allerdings braucht man keine +300 Seiten voller Wiederholungen dafür. Im Übrigen bleibt die Darstellung überwiegend allgemein. Konkrete Beispiele, Zahlen oder nachvollziehbare Schritte zur praktischen Umsetzung werden nur selten geliefert, aber das ist grundsätzlich immer so bei diese Art von Büchern. Stattdessen berichtet der Autor mehrfach von eigenen finanziellen Erfolgen, ohne diese detailliert zu erläutern.
