Robert Kiyosaki: A Biography
Page 1 of 6
On April 8th, 1949, Robert Kiyosaki was born Robert Toru Kiyosaki on the island of Hilo in Hawaii. Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth generation Japanese American. Much of Robert Kiyosaki’s success is based on the idea of having two fathers growing up, one rich and one poor, the whole concept of how the rich and poor educate their children which can in turn pave a destiny of whether they will in turn be successful financially or struggle, is based on this. The question of whether this concept is entirely an allegory or if these two dads do exist and that they are truth, has remained debated for some time now, without any conclusive evidence of who is indeed the rich dad, is often thought about. Robert Kiyosaki has claimed that these two fathers are in fact a true story (3), but he has also questioned interviewers on whether or not it matters at all and if fictional characters can have the same power to influence. Despite all the debate and uncertainty, Robert Kiyosaki’s real dad is without question the late educator Mr.Ralph H. Kiyosaki. Ralph H. Kiyosaki was born in 1919 and died in 1991. Ralph H. Kiyosaki earned a Ph.D. through many scholarships and was head of education on the Big Island in Hawaii, which in turn enabled Robert Kiyosaki to attend better schools with predominately richer classmates. Ralph H. Kiyosaki was a very intelligent man, a great educator, who ended up becoming state superintendent for education (4), but he was also Robert Kiyosaki’s poor dad. Although Ralph H. Kiyosaki was able to put Robert Kiyosaki in the right environment to learn what it meant to succeed.  It was at Hilo High School where Robert Kiyosaki met his rich dad, the father of a fellow classmate and friend. The rich dad was an entrepreneur with very little education, and was capitalist minded, in contrast with his socialist minded, intellectual father.

After graduating from Hilo High School on the Big Island of Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki registered for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy`s prestige is that it is one of the five United States service academies, specializing in marine transport of civilian owned, non-military, merchant ships. Requisites to become a student of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy include a nomination by a United States representative or Senator, along with other recommendations, along with high scores on the SATs and a strong GPA, which Robert Kiyosaki accomplished flawlessly. Robert Kiyosaki graduated from U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in the class of 1969.
