Kiyosaki has claimed he follows his own advice. Yet a lawsuit against his former business partner revealed that his fortune came mainly from selling his books, not from property investments. Even more surprising, his company, Rich Global LLC, went bankrupt in 2012, leaving a debt of $23.7M to an investor, a debt he never repaid.

Like any chancer, Kiyosaki moved on to the stock market, then to crypto, and failed at everything he tried. He predicted a crash for November 2021, Bitcoin falling to $1.1k in 2022, and made a bet on silver in 2020 that then dropped 10%. All of it turned out wrong.

Because a good storyteller never made a good analyst.
