 Rich Woman, Kim Kiyosaki's 1st venture as an author, was
released in June 2006. In July it hit the BusinessWeek bestseller list at #9,
and currently stands at #4. The book is already an international bestseller in
South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
“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 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 our for our
financial futures.”
Kim 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 house in Portland, Oregon. Today Kim’s real estate
investment company buys, sells and manages millions of dollars worth of
property.
Kim and Robert, who married in 1984, sold their education seminar business in
1994 and 'retired.' In 1997, Kim and Robert – with partner and Rich Dad Poor Dad
co-author Sharon Lechter – founded the 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.
