Overview

The world is facing many challenges and one of them is financial. The entitlement mentality is epidemic, creating people who expect their countries, employers, or families to take care of them. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, both successful businessmen, are natural teachers and have joined forces to address these challenges. They believe you cannot solve money problems with money. You can only solve money problems with financial education. Trump and Kiyosaki want to teach you to be rich.

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

They each could have written a book on the subject, but they chose instead to write a book together because of their shared passion for education and their desire to bring emphasis to the importance of financial education. In addition they have designated a portion of the profits from each book to be donated to charitable and educational organizations that also support financial education.

Why We Want YOU To Be Rich, Two Men — One Message was written for you.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Rich Dad, Poor Dad author and motivational speaker Robert T. Kiyosaki and celebrity rich man Donald J. Trump join forces to come to the aid of America's shrinking middle class. These thriving multimillionaires give advice designed to help average readers expand their wealth in the harsh economy. Firm steps towards financial literacy.
Publishers Weekly
The wildly financially successful authors of this book state, early on, that a reader will not find in its pages specific advice on how to make or invest money. It's more a book of philosophy (note the "why" in the title), and if it's not exactly Kierkegaardian in scope or language, this collaboration of real estate magnate and rags-to-riches financial guru manages to entertain and to inform. Written in bite-size chunks and adorned with quotes (some from the authors' previous works or speeches) and graphs, it explains why some people get rich and others... well, don't. Some tales are shopworn: the many references to Warren Buffett are tales well told, for example, but what works best are the aphorisms and the personality type descriptions within the "CASHFLOW Quadrant" no matter what you do for a living, in your heart are you an E, an S, a B or an I? (Key: E=employee; B=big business owner; S=self-employed, specialist or small business owner; I=investor.) But Trump and Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) together are a strangely winning combination (they've published this book jointly and privately and a portion of its profits will be donated to charity). Bottom line: these Messrs. Money-bags know their business. We're talking billionaires here, and really, how can you argue with success? (Oct.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Meet the Author

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story. A graduate of the Wharton School of Finance, his real estate developments are the most prestigious of addresses nationally and internationally. Among them are the world-renowned Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower, Trump Park Avenue, the historic Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach and the Palm Trump International Hotel & Tower in development in Dubai. His four award winning golf courses, and one soon to be developed in Scotland, reflect his passion for golf. As the Emmy-nominated star and co-producer of the reality television hit show, The Apprentice, and author of seven bestsellers, he is truly a media giant.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, the international runaway bestseller, is an investor, entrepreneur specializing in mining and real estate, as well as an educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. Rich Dad Poor Dad, published in 1997, has held a top spot on the famed New York Times list for nearly six years. Translated into 46 languages and available in 97 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 26 million copies worldwide and has dominated bestsellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico, South Africa, and Europe. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.

    You Need To Read This Book!

    I picked this book up because I respect Mr. Kiyosaki and Mr. Trump. BUT I HAD NO IDEA OF HOW GREAT THIS BOOK WAS! It was a page turner. It's NOT a book on investing or what to do...but an educational book. You'll find out why America is in the pickle it is. These two gentlemen really, really want us to be successful. This book has inspired me and it will inspire you. http://www.bettercreditwithski.com/

    Written in 2006 -prophetic and still relevant

    These two guys lay out financial advice from which anyone, novice or savvy investor, can learn and it helps reinforce basic supply and demand principles. It warns heavily about the volatility of the stock market, money market, gold, etc., and that the only way to really make money is through oil and gas exploration and additionally real estate in North America. Even if we lessen our dependence on foreign oil, there will still be a need world wide for many years to come. It is emphatic about taking charge of your own financial picture and ending the reliance on your company 401 plan, social security, pensions, and the stock market to ensure financial security. All of those plans are in jeopardy and can't be counted on for retirement or to last indefinitely. This is a wonderful read to make you think twice about conventional "safe" investing and says a lot about these two icons who want to share their insight to ensure that our country stays strong, inovative, and independent from foreign control. I highly recommend this book.
