Setelah lulus dari Hilo High School, ia memasuki US Merchant Marine Academy di New York, lulus pada tahun 1969 sebagai perwira dek.

Pengajaran
Sebagian besar dari ajaran-ajaran Kiyosaki fokus pada menghasilkan pendapatan pasif dengan cara investasi peluang, seperti real estate dan bisnis, dengan tujuan untuk bisa mendukung diri sendiri hanya dari investasi semacam itu. Sejalan dengan hal ini, Kiyosaki mendefinisikan "aset" sebagai hal-hal yang menghasilkan cash inflow, seperti sewa properti atau bisnis-dan "kewajiban" sebagai hal-hal yang menggunakan uang tunai, seperti rumah, mobil, dan begitu di. Kiyosaki juga berpendapat bahwa keuangan leverage (keuangan) sangat penting untuk menjadi kaya.
Kiyosaki menekankan apa yang disebutnya "melek keuangan" sebagai sarana untuk mendapatkan kekayaan. Dia mengatakan bahwa kecakapan hidup seringkali paling baik dipelajari melalui pengalaman dan bahwa ada pelajaran penting yang tidak diajarkan di sekolah. Dia mengatakan bahwa pendidikan formal terutama bagi mereka yang ingin menjadi karyawan atau wiraswasta, dan bahwa ini adalah sebuah ide "Era Industri." Dan menurut Kiyosaki, dalam rangka untuk memperoleh kebebasan finansial, seseorang harus menjadi pemilik bisnis atau investor, guna menghasilkan pendapatan pasif.
Kiyosaki berbicara sering dari apa yang ia sebut "The Cashflow Quadrant," alat konseptual yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana semua uang di dunia diperoleh. Digambarkan dalam sebuah diagram, konsep ini mensyaratkan empat kelompok, dibagi dengan dua garis (satu vertikal dan satu horisontal). Pada masing-masing empat kelompok ada surat yang mewakili sebuah cara di mana seorang individu mungkin memperoleh pendapatan. Huruf adalah sebagai berikut.
- 'E:' Employee atau Karyawan - Bekerja untuk orang lain.
- 'S:' Self-employed atau Pemilik Bisnis Kecil - Di mana seseorang memiliki pekerjaan sendiri dan menjadi bos bagi diri sendiri.
- 'B:' (Boss) Pemilik Bisnis Besar - Di mana seseorang memiliki sebuah "sistem" untuk membuat uang, bukan pekerjaan untuk menghasilkan uang.
- 'I:' Investor - Menginvestasikan atau menanamkan uang pada suatu bidang yang menghasilkan pemasukan lebih besar.

Buku-buku
Kiyosaki terkenal karena bukunyaRich Dad, Poor Dad , # 1New York Times bestseller. Diikuti dengan Kiyosaki Rich Dad's CASHFLOW QuadrantdanRich Dad's Guide to Investing. Ia sekarang memiliki setidaknya selusin buku yang telah diterbitkan. Daftar sebagian buku-bukunya sudah termasuk di bawah ini.
Pada mulanya buku-bukunya diterbitkan sendiri sebelum meledak secara komersial sebagai buku best seller, konsep utama Rich Dad, Poor Dad adalah sebuah anekdot perbandingan dari "dua ayah"-nya. "Ayah miskin" adalah ayah biologis, yang menjadi Superintendent dari Departemen PendidikanNegara Bagian Hawaii tapi sangat sedikit memiliki kekayaan bersih yang nyata. Kontras dengan hal ini adalah (dibilang fiktif, lihat "Kritik dan kontroversi" bagian dari artikel ini) "ayah kaya" pendukung keuntungan pajak investasi kendaraan, seperti real estate atau bisnis es, daripada kepemilikan efek. ((Kenyataan | date =)) Oktober 2009 Gagasan ini dikembangkan lebih lanjut dalam buku-bukunya selanjutnya. Ayah Kaya Kiyosaki menjadi merek dagang untuk berbagai usaha penerbitan.

Didactic games
Kiyosaki stresses the value of games, particularly Monopoly, as tools for learning basic financial strategies such as "trade four green houses for one red hotel." Kiyosaki has created several games to reinforce the information in his books.
- Cashflow 101
"Cashflow 101" is a board game designed by Kiyosaki, which aims to teach the players concepts of investing and making money, it costs $195.
There are two stages to the game. In the first, "the rat race", the player aims to raise his or her character's passive income level to where it exceeds the character's expenses through a variety of investment options. The winner is determined in the second stage, "the fast track." To win, a player must get his character to buy his "dream" or accumulate $50,000 in monthly cash flow.
The game forces the players to do the accounts by themselves. In place of "score cards", there are financial statements. Therefore, players can see more clearly what is happening with their money. It generally shows how assets generate incomes and liabilities and 'doodads' affect expenses.
Basic strategies involved in this game are: buying and selling stocks, Cashflow, Appreciation, and leverage.
- Cashflow 202
"Cashflow 202" is a more advanced game than Cashflow 101. It is designed to help players learn about more sophisticated investing strategies. Cashflow 101 was generally meant to teach investing techniques that would work best in an "up market" where property values steadily increase, whereas Cashflow 202 is supposed to teach investment strategies for a fluctuating market where property values depreciate as well as rise.
Strategies involved in this game are: Call, Put, and Short options on stocks, 1031 Real Estate Exchanges, and immediate capital gains vs. longer-term investments.
- Cashflow for Kids
"Cashflow for Kids" is basically a children's version of Cashflow 101, good for ages 5 through 9. There is also a Cashflow for Kids e-game available for free.[5]
- Cashflow The E-Game
"Cashflow The E-Game" is a computer software version of the Cashflow 101 board game. It is not necessary to have the board game in order to play the computer game.
- Cashflow 202 The E-Game
"Cashflow 202 The E-Game" is a software expansion of the computer game "Cashflow The E-Game." Its counterpart is the "Cashflow 202" board game described earlier in this article.

Appearances
PBS
Several local stations of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), including WTTW of Chicago, KAET of Phoenix, KOCE of Orange County, California, WLIW of the New York/New Jersey area, and WGBH of Boston, have featured Kiyosaki during fund-raising drives. During this television special, Rich Dad's Guide to Wealth with Robert Kiyosaki, he provides viewers with what he calls "financial education", as opposed to academic or professional education.
News
Kiyosaki has been seen giving financial advice on various network television news channels.
New York City's Madison Square Garden (October, 2002)
This speech was the subject of a CNN story.[3]
Financial advice
Mutual funds
Kiyosaki wrote in one column that investors in any mutual fund with a 2.5% annual fee would, over a long time period, surrender 80% of the earnings to the fund.[6] Kiyosaki expanded on his criticism of mutual funds in another column by stating they are for "losers."[7] He has drawn much criticism for comparing investing in mutual funds to playing the lottery, and for discouraging 401(k) investing, contrary to the advice of most professional financial advisers.[8] In contrast to these statements, Kiyosaki wrote in his book Prophecy that mutual funds are not bad investments, but are risky investments for those that are not financially educated.
Kiyosaki's view is supported by the founder of mutual fund Vanguard, John C. Bogle. In a Frontline episode titled "401(k)s: The New Retirement Plan, For Better or Worse", Bogle stated that management fees and trading costs gobble up approximately 2.5% of an investor's annual returns and approximately 80% of an investor's long term gains. He says management costs reduce the value of a $1,000 investment over 65 years from approximately $140,000 at 8% compounded annually to a mere $30,000 at 5.5% compounded annually. Bogle's solution is to utilize index funds, which charge as little as 0.09%, to substantially reduce or eliminate management fees.[9][10][11]
Criticism and controversy
Kiyosaki's books and teachings have been criticized for focusing on anecdotes and containing little in the way of concrete advice on how readers should proceed.[12] Kiyosaki responds that his material is meant to be more of a motivational tool to get readers thinking about money, rather than a step by step guide to wealth. He also says the books are supposed to be "interesting" to people, which precludes involving a lot of technical material.[13]
Even some of the facts he has offered directly have been questioned. For example, on September 19, 2006, Kiyosaki wrote in a Yahoo Finance article that the NYMEX is an exchange where "… pork bellies,… are traded."[14] In reality, pork bellies are not traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange,[15] rather they are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
ABC ran a 20/20 segment on May 19, 2006 in which Kiyosaki was to advise three entrepreneurs on how to make money. They were given $1000 and 20 days to try and make the most money possible. At the end, after mediocre results, the contestants alleged that Kiyosaki never gave concrete advice. "All he [Kiyosaki] does is, I guess, is open your mind to the possibility. He doesn't tell you how to do it." Kiyosaki responds by saying that failure is important to learn. At the end, 20/20 asks, "Does anyone really need 18 books to learn to fail?"[1]
The Wall Street Journal harshly criticised Why We Want You To Be Rich by Kiyosaki and Trump[16] as did Kiplinger's Personal Finance[17]
