Rich dad – who is he?

Recently I was looking through the information on one forum and came across an article where they discussed the books of Robert Kiyoski. It became curious, I decided to read what they write. There were positive reviews, but also negative ones. One forum member claimed that Robert Kiyosaki was a fraudster and in fact was never a successful businessman at all, but he completely invented about “rich dad".

And that he earned his millions simply by writing books that became popular through cooperation with Amway, where they were sold to distributors as motivational literature. Further, the same forum member said that some American journalist conducted his own investigation.

He wanted to know:

Who is "Rich Dad"?

Because Kiyosaki did not write the name and surname of “Rich Dad” anywhere, but he could at least name it as a sign of respect. The journalist was also looking for businessmen who could match the description of a person who managed businesses related to restaurants, construction and shops, but he did not find such.

Robert, in the book Why We Want You to Be Rich, which Kiyosaki wrote with Donald Trump, wrote that he did not give his first and last name because "Rich Dad" asked him not to.

Further, the journalist writes that Richard Keamy (02/03/1925 – 12/19/2008) could potentially be Rich Dad, Richard was the owner of Sand & Seaside Hotels. This man built hotels in Hawaii, and was considered very rich. He was constantly written about in the Hawaiian press.

Richard's son Alan is currently managing this hotel chain. In Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert wrote how Rich Dad's son Mike became a hotel manager after his father retired.

There is some overlap!

In the fall of 2012, Ron Salvador (a student of Robert Kiyosaki) privately said in Moscow that Richard Wassman Kimi was Rich Dad.
