Kiyosaki grew up in
Hawaii, where his father (his
poor dad) was the head of the Department of Education. His best friend's dad (his
rich dad), was a multi-million dollar business owner and
investor. Kiyosaki's poor dad was well-educated on all topics, but not on financial literacy. On the other hand, Kiyosaki's rich dad was not educated beyond
high school, but understood how to make
money work for him. The main focus of Kiyosaki's books is on the
mentoring he received from his rich dad.
