Robert Kiyosaki is an American businessman, investor, financial educator and author, best known for writing the personal finance book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” Readers and fans have praised him for teaching about the difference between assets and liabilities and building passive income.
Given his background, many might be curious about Kiyosaki’s wealth and how his finances have changed over the years.
Changes in Net Worth
Overall, it’s tough to pinpoint exactly how much Kiyosaki is worth and how much richer he’s gotten over the last five years. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kiyosaki has a net worth of $100 million. Some reports from 2021 indicate that Kiyosaki’s net worth that year was also $100 million, meaning it’s remained unchanged over the past five years.
ChatGPT, however, indicated some movement in Kiyosaki’s estimated net worth over the past half-decade:
- 2021: about $90 million
- 2022: about $100 million
- 2023: about $110 million
- 2024: about $110 million
- 2025: about $120 million
The artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot noted that these numbers represent some growth but not explosive wealth accumulation compared with some other big investors.

Multiple Income Streams
Kiyosaki’s wealth profile is tied to several income streams.
- Book royalties and brand revenue: The “Rich Dad” franchise continues to sell across the world and generate recurring royalties.
- Seminars and educational products: In-person and online financial education and seminars contribute to ongoing revenue.
- Investments and assets: Kiyosaki has publicly discussed holdings in real estate, metals, crypto and other assets.
Controversial Use of Debt
Kiyosaki has taken a controversial approach to debt. In fact, in 2024, he said he was $1.2 billion in debt. He went on to explain that he uses debt as money and doesn’t save cash. As noted by Benzinga, he doesn’t borrow to buy things that lose value, but instead he borrows to build his portfolio.
Keep in mind that not everyone agrees with Kiyosaki’s take on debt. Dave Ramsey, the well-known personal finance expert, has said that debt is the biggest theft of your financial future. He’s told his followers that it’s impossible to build wealth when you’re dealing with never-ending debt.
