A personal finance book published in 1997, written by Robert Kiyosaki with Sharon Lechter. Told as parables presented as autobiography, it sets two figures against each other: his own father, who worked hard all his life without reaching financial security, and his best friend's father, who grew rich through business and investing. From that contrast comes its central idea: learning about money, acquiring assets and owning businesses matter more than a good salary.

Who it's for
For readers starting to take an interest in personal finance who prefer a story-driven, easy-to-read self-help book. Worth knowing: critics have been harsh; the finance writer John T. Reed considers it full of bad advice, and Slate called it vague and full of self-help boilerplate.
Why people still read it
Self-published in 1997, it became a bestseller largely through its author's media appearances, above all on The Oprah Winfrey Show. It has sold over 32 million copies, been translated into more than 51 languages and spent over six years on the New York Times bestseller list; in 2022 it turned 25 with a revised edition.

Written with the help of AI from Open Library, todostuslibros, and Wikipedia, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
