Robert Kiyosaki Discloses $1.2 Billion in Debt Linked to Real Estate Investments
Personal finance author Robert Kiyosaki, known for his book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' has revealed he is associated with approximately $1.2 billion in debt tied primarily to real estate investments held through partnerships. During a June appearance on the Get Rich Education podcast, Kiyosaki emphasized that this leverage strategy should not be replicated without financial education and cautioned against blindly following his approach. Kiyosaki's former wife and business partner, Kim Kiyosaki, clarified in an August 26 Vanity Fair profile that much of the debt is secured by real assets such as around 1,500 apartment units. The article estimates Kiyosaki’s personal exposure to be between $30 million and $60 million. Kiyosaki has long advocated for using leverage strategically in investments like Bitcoin, gold, silver, and real estate to build wealth during inflationary periods. However, the risks of such a strategy are significant if asset values decline or borrowing costs rise.
