Who was Rich Dad?

In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, the author describes two very influential anatomies in his life; his highly educated biological father who worked in the educational line-up of the governmental forces for the government of Hawaii but never amassed any opulence( Poor Dad) and his best friend Mike’s father who stopped out of academy at age 13 but through owning businesses and attaining savvy speculations, has now become the richest souls in Hawaii. Both “Dad” supposedly had similar income levels in the beginning of their careers but certain differences was in how each thought about and dealt with the money they gave so eventually the businesses and speculations Rich Dad owned propelled him to becoming fabulously wealthy.

From notebooks, communications and interviews of the author, the following detailed description was compiled: Rich Dad lived just down wall street from Kiyosaki in Hilo, HI, even using the same banker as Poor Dad. He labor long hours building an empire of different businesses and speculations that eventually included eateries, a structure company, warehouses and a convenience store chain. He was six paws towering, weighed 200 pounds, was 5 years younger than Poor Dad and looked like Poor Dad simply of a different ethic background. Rich Dad invested 3 years in the Army. Later in life, he leaved lots of money to his church, to benevolences and to his footing. In 1990, his son “Mike”( Kiyosaki purposefully added a psuedo-name) took over Rich Dad’s empire.

Controversy Over the Real Life Identity of Rich Dad

Once the book stumbled the New York Times best seller index, correspondents began to descend upon the author. In an interrogation with Smart Money Magazine in 2002, when asked who his Rich Dad was, Kiyosaki replied,” Why don’t you treat Rich Dad like Harry Potter ?” This created a ardor hurricane of polemic extending commentators to believe that there was no real life Rich Dad, but instead he was a figment of Robert’s imaginative imagination. Some commentators even extended so far as to necessitate the book be moved to the story line-up of the bookstore.

In a subsequently interrogation with the Honolulu Advertiser Robert clarified that there was an actual person who was the original Rich Dad but others had also influenced the specific characteristics created in his notebooks. Then, in yet another interrogation on the topic, supposedly a correspondent was given the contact information of one of the sons of the actual Rich Dad by Kiyosaki and this correspondent spoke with a someone on a phone call that “re just saying that” Rich Dad was his father but this see neither persuaded the correspondent of any authenticity and farther that correspondent had agreed not to disclose the phone number or the person he spoke with prior to the opening of the call.

That last interview was in 2003. Then, for another 13 years , good-for-nothing has been spoken about on this subject. Kiyosaki hindered it a complete mystery quoting a written agreement with their own families of Rich Dad to retain him anonymous. Meanwhile, the general consensus is that Rich Dad is a completely made up attribute, a combination of all the influences in Kiyosaki’s life and therefore Rich Dad was not actually a real being at all.

Initial Shock of the News

For fans of the Rich Dad notebooks, the initial information that Rich Dad is a made up attribute would be quite shocking. It calls into question not only the advice of Rich Dad but likewise the integrity of the author as well. For die hard fans who were already well informed this topic, their typical reaction is so what, who cares, the majority of Rich Dad’s admonition is still really good, so move on. That’s a valid controversy. Nonetheless, this Rich Dad attribute has made an impact on billions of people. Numerous have been inspired to start their own business or invest in real estate because of the advice Rich Dad supposedly leaved to Kiyosaki. It hasn’t been without its commentators and surely Kiyosaki himself has had his share of problems over the years, especially from the licensing of the Rich Dad firebrand to outside firms. Numerous opulence seekers have introduced their trust in Rich Dad’s advisory opinions and fallen flat on their fiscal face. So whether good or bad, the impact of this Rich Dad has been enormous. If people are willing to turn their lives upside down, such as ceasing their undertaking to start a business, from speaking the advice of Rich Dad, then recognizing the real life Rich Dad seems like a reasonable pursuit.

Too Detailed to Be Completely Fake?

Many of the greatest fictional literary works in record were a mix of the author’s brilliant imagination together with real life episodes or people that provided inspiration for that invention. The breathtaking detail with which Kiyosaki has described Rich Dad over the past 18 years in notebooks, communications and interviews sees it very hard to believe that there wasn’t at least person or persons in Hawaii that could have inspired this attribute. Kiyosaki has mentioned the teachings of Buckminster Fuller as having had a significant impact on his life, although he has also said Rich Dad was a capitalist and “Bucky” was a progressive, is recommended that these were two completely different people. Some have argued that Marshall Thurber was Rich Dad but a quick glance at his life reveals that this person’s life and background would not stimulate the creation of the Rich Dad attribute at all. The concepts in the Rich Dad succession is likewise changed from meetings schooled by Keith Cunningham but he was the same age as Robert and they had worked together as well. So there is certainly a melting pot of different people in Kiyosaki’s adult life that influenced him but none of them fit the bill for the real life Rich Dad.

There Really Was a Real Life Rich Dad

In 2009, a Hawaiian hotelier identified Richard Wassman Kimi croaked, and the Honolulu Advertiser obituary speak that,” Richard Kimi likewise experienced teach and sharing his sales, commerce and business insight. One of his students was Robert Kiyosaki, columnist of the” Rich Dad, Poor Dad” notebooks, who based his original” rich papa” on Kimi ,’ Alan Kimi said …”

Then, on May 4, 2016, Robert Kiyosaki himself conducted a Radio Show and interviewed Alan Kimi, confirming that Alan’s dad was Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad as well as confirming that a confidentiality agreement had been implemented between Kiyosaki and Kimi as well as why the secrecy was so important to the Kimi family. In that radio broadcast, an interesting anecdote was how Robert virtually declined his lifelong dream of appearing on the Oprah show because Oprah’s producers demanded to know who the real life Rich Dad was. They eventually came to an appropriate layout by having Alan Kimi talk to Oprah and her producers and substantiate the identity and explain the importance of anonymity.

Richard Kimi

Richard was a colonist in taking bookings via fax and tool free amounts. He was one of the first to put together breeze, room and auto packages very. His administration Sand& Seaside Hotels is now run by his son Alan.

Alan narrated,” He always visualized five to 10 years ahead ,” Alan Kimi said.” When we had satisfies and said,’ This is what our quarter was and this is what our last-place six months were ,’ he said,’ I’m not interested.
