'Rich Dad Poor Dad' author discusses Bitcoin investment amid reported $1.2 billion debt
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' has highlighted his early investment in Bitcoin from a decade ago as he faces scrutiny over reports of carrying significant debt. In a recent Facebook post on September 5, 2026, Kiyosaki recalled purchasing one Bitcoin for $400 and emphasized its long-term appreciation despite the current price being below its peak. He advocates buying assets at opportune times rather than investing abruptly. Kiyosaki disclosed in June that he has a reported debt of $1.2 billion; however, his ex-wife clarified to Vanity Fair that this amount is spread across real estate investments with partners and not entirely unsecured personal debt. His actual liability may be between $30 million and $60 million. Kiyosaki remains vocal in promoting cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), as well as precious metals, while criticizing the federal banking system.
