With a passion for educating women about money and investing, Kim Kiyosaki draws on a lifetime of experience in business, real estate and investing in her mission to support financial education.
She is a sought-after speaker, television and radio talk show guest, the host of a PBS ‘Rich Woman’ show as well as a columnist for WomanEntrepreneur.com.
She is a self-made millionaire and a happily married (but fiercely independent) woman. Her first book, Rich Woman – A Book on Investing for Women – hit the Business Week bestseller list the month it was released. Rich Woman is a bestseller in Mexico, South Africa, India, Australia and across Europe.
Kim has used the international forum of the Rich Dad brand to showcase the startling statistics related to women and money, and through Rich Woman and www.richwoman.com, has created a community where women can learn and grow.
Kim Kiyosaki entered the business world in a position with a top Honolulu advertising agency and by age 25 she was operating a Honolulu magazine that served the city’s business community. It didn’t take long for Kim’s entrepreneurial spirit to surface and two years later she ventured into her first business: A clothing company with national distribution.
Not long after launching that company, Kim joined Robert Kiyosaki as a partner in a company that taught entrepreneurial business throughout the world. That business grew to support 11 offices in seven countries, presenting business seminars to tens of thousands of attendees.
In 1989 Kim began her real estate investing career with the purchase of a small 2-bedroom / 1 bath rental property in Portland, Oregon. Today Kim’s real estate investment company buys, sells and manages millions of dollars in property.
Kim and Robert, who married in 1986, sold their education seminar business in 1994 and ‘retired.’ In 1997, Kim and Robert founded The Rich Dad Company that would take the Rich Dad® message and mission of financial literacy – through books, games, and other educational tools – to international recognition and acclaim.
“I wrote Rich Woman because too many women, especially as we get older, are finding ourselves in dire financial straights – due to divorce, death of a spouse or simply no planning. The problem is so many of us have not been educated about money and investing. This book is not about how to buy car insurance or save pennies at the grocery store. I think we women are a little smarter than that. Rich Woman is about women taking control of our financial lives, instead of crossing our fingers hoping that someone else is looking out for our financial futures. I wrote Rich Woman because I believe the world would be a better place if there were more Rich Women.” – Kim Kiyosaki
