User:Zipperback/Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki (born April 8, 1947) is an "As Seen on TV" financial guru who grew famous in the late 90's and early 2000's with his line of Rich Dad Poor Dad seminars and books.

The Inspiration
Kiyosaki was deeply involved in two other financial movements with suspicious roots. In the 1980's Robert Kiyosaki was heavily involved in Amway. He was also a speaker for the Money and You Organization, which was in turn founded by Marshall Thurber, a graduate of Erhard Seminars Training. Initially, many of his book sales were to other Amway members, an efficient move since, if you have Amway, there's really no reason to waste time finding your own gullible dupes. .
