A very good realization struck near the end of the book. I think that most people would understand the purpose of the book to find out how to become rich.... but read the title again...."Why we want you to be rich"
This in itself tells you that your about to embark on a journey of opinion (informed in most cases I have to say) about (you guessed it).. WHY they want us to be rich!
The writing style of the book did not resonate with me from the get go. Especially the part written by Robert, as he...more

I didn't like the style of this book, dual opinions on many different topics regarding wealth creation. It was a horrible read for the good first part but it did have interesting stories sprinkled throughout the book to drive me to the second half, where it was better. Some of the stories will stick with me, like Trump's about the history student who seemed like an expert on WWII. He said learning about it made him realize he needed to learn about WWI and the history that preceeded that. Learnin...more
Not a great book, but not the worst one I have ever read.
The advice given is to invest in real estate and participate in multi-level marketing schemes. Of course, the book is from 2006, when real estate was a lot more popular than now.

Got this as a Christmas gift. It is a TERRIBLE book.
The whole book is them sucking up to each other, saying how much they love to teach, and how you should buy their other books. That is honestly the entire book.
DO NOT BUY THIS - HUGE WASTE OF MONEY!

The authors say that they feel that people should be "rich" so that they can have money to take care of themselves. They say that too many people rely on the government to take care of them when they get older; i.e. social security. They say that the government is not reliable and you should be able to take care of yourself. Managing your money well is important. Financial education is important. They suggest investing in real estate and if you have the skills and capability, perhaps start your...more
One of mr.Trumps greatest master pieces! Especially because he co-authored with mr.Kiyosaki American millionaire. The minds of both authors are joined into one book. Both with their ideas on why they want people to become rich. I like this book because it proves to people who aren't Trump fans that mr.Trump isn't a spoiled stupid rich man. The book explains to you how he cares,worries about the American nation. He tries to figure out solutions to stop the financial problems people are facing wit...more
Good advices if you're someone who'd lap up a material just because of the celebrity status of its creators. However, if you actually want to know why it's important to be rich (or that the state of being 'rich' has lots of variations and forms), you'll get more out of reading other classical works --such as "Social Contract"-- as well as other biographies of inspiring people such as Steve Jobs, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, etc.

Why We Want You To Be Rich by Donald J. Trump and Robert Kiyosaki is a great book explaining why it's good to be rich and how to manage your money. The book has two sections for each chapter- one written by each of the authors. First, this is not a political book and does not criticize any political views. Also, this book explains how America will be like in the future and how to be better prepared for it. Next, both authors invest to win and recommend not to invest to not lose. Finally, the aut...more
It's a pretty good book for anyone looking to take control of their lives and to get ontop of things in our economy. It's not a message on how to be rich, but why these guys want you to be rich. Pretty obvious, right?
Good quote:
"Today, whenever I meet someone who is unhappy, unhealthy, and unwealthy, I know it is simply because he or she has lost control of his or her mind, the greatest tool given to us by God."
I agree with that to some degree. You see, unhappiness will come now and then. Bad he...more

I give this book 5 stars. Let me sum up a coworkers attitude who saw me reading it. He said "Well there is something wrong with one of the guys on this book already. He is in Bankruptcy and even isn't a billionare anymore, now he is only a millionare. I wouldn't read that."
Are you kidding. let's see most of all of us have a net worth of pennies, maybe thousands of dollars......but let's not read this book buy a guy who is a megamillionare or billionare.... yeah good idea, I'm sure there is nothi...more

This is a really good book to prepare you and make you think of many unspoken aspects of someone who is successful aswell as important eye opening points of why its even more important now, personally am trump and kiyosaki fan for a while, so i didnt get a lot out this book as id hoped to, because some of the material is a common theme which ive learned from there other books, nevertheless, recommended

I wish I'd read this one before I bought GM stock! Lots of good information and plenty of advice. If you think mutual funds and savings accounts are going to take care of your financial future, you'd better think again. And don't plan on retirement or Social Security either. This book will help you know what to do to really be able to afford yourself now and in the future.
This book is a good read for anyone that aspires to making more than the average money. If you do want to make more than the average money then reading books by people like these two is a good start. It does talk alot on property investments and shares e.t.c So at the off set you would need money. But, it does go through some interesting points.

You can't count on Social Security Money when you retired due to there are many baby boomers vs very few are working to fund our retirement needs. Don't depend on Government's help. The governments have no control over our economy since the problems with economy is world wide. Example, the price of the oil is determined outside United States.
This is pretty much a book about nothing. Or maybe it’s marketing collateral to promote the extensive Trump and Rich Dad brands. Talk about blatant product placement! But in spite of that, I did enjoy the tone of this book. I’m a sucker for motivational, inspirational writing, and love reading real-life samples of success. This book reinforced within me that I am capable of good things with enough education, hard work and use of my talents. And may I add the grace of God because that’s where I b...more
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are both concerned. Their concern is that the rich are getting richer but America is getting poorer. Like the polar ice caps, the middle class is disappearing. America is becoming a two-class society. Soon you will be either rich or poor. Donald and Robert want you to be rich.
I just happened to pass the shelf when I noticed the name "Donald Trump"/ Who doesn't know him? The most interesting thing was that he wrote this book with another tycoon.
A Very interesting subjects they have there. If you're not someone who is seeking for wealth, you'll get headache to read this (LOL) but if you're the one who seeks for it, then this book is sooo inspiring. I love the humbleness of Robert and the encouragement from Don. Both of them add things to one another in this book. I gue...more

This book is really good to read. It will helps you to become financial Literate, I recommend this book to those people who wants to be rich and of course I'm one of those who wants to be a billionaire and it's so freakin bad, hahaha. I wish I could apply everything in real life. ^__^
The shrinking middle class is quite alarming, and these two "GREATS" of the business world truly want to help!
One of my favorite sections is about how they both recommend the leveraging power of a network marketing business model for the "Everyman" to become wealthy.

I liked this book because after reading pretty much all of Robert's books it added a different perspective (Trump). I like reading these books for inspiration and hearing examples of other people. If you are good with getting that from the book then you should enjoy it.

I attended Trump University to learn about real estate investing. This book was mentioned so I decided to check it out at the library. It sure makes sense to invest in financial security not only for ourselves personally but for the good of our nation.
Two great people one message. A book written by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki - Why We Want You To Be Rich. A great message a d to those who choose to be rich, never give up dream big and achieve it cos life is worth living for the best!! :)
The points and concerns brought out by the Trump and Kiosaki are really intresting to think about. The advice seems compelling and I think Donald Trump is just hilarious sometimes, so I like hearing what he has to say. I don't watch The Apprentice so that version of him isn't where my opinion reflects from. I've read other books of his.

These two very successful men have totally different personalities and approaches to business and building wealth in some aspects, and are very much alike in others. This is an excellent book for anyone from about 12 on up to read.
I like how in this book they discuss the importance of Financial Literacy courses in our schools. I was teaching that course at the time I read it and still agree with that idea whole-heartedly!
Very enlightening on the personality of both men. After reading this, I would not worry at all about Trump being President! Also, for an older book, they described what was going to happen to our economy to a "T" Very inspirational book as I am moving into the B quadrant myself.
if you dont live in America, i woulnd't recommend this book. as there are many other books that will educate you financially without focusing on America's law and economy.
Low reading level so this is a quick and easy read, basic advice - take sound risks, go beyond basic savings, invest in real estate. - Formal review coming later!
An ego stroke for the both of them, not worth your time or money. I listened to the audio tapes and they didn't even record the tapes themselves. SELL OUTS
