If you read many of Robert Kiyosaki's books, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" range of books, he talks a lot about things like, "What the rich don't want you to know" or stuff like the rich people tell him "Not to teach the common folk how to get rich"... Not the exact words, but the idea that the rich don't want to teach or don't want more folks to get rich. Maybe it's just marketing, but I know that there are people who think that the rich don't want the common folk to get rich... Firstly, Robert Kiyosaki... Ok from some preliminary research, it appears that his books are mainly fiction. As in the "stories" that he tells aren't true. But the idea behind the story is real. I.e. getting passive income, saving, investing, not to spend too much etc... all good ideas. Some people don't like Robert Kiyosaki, cos they believe his books...
