Reality is a Meme? Rich Dad Author Has a $1.2B Debt

Someone says reality is a meme. The most incredible things are always happening, and unrelated events leave people utterly astonished.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad,' a renowned finance expert, recently reveales he has over $1.2 billion in debt.

A wallstreetbet user commented that:

  • $0 Debt - Poor, homeless

  • $300k Debt - Middle class with mortgage loans

  • $1.2 Billion Debt - Extremely wealthy

  • $30 Trillion Debt - Wealthiest country in Earth’s History

The new US election result also surprises investors.

Shares of $Digital World Acquisition Corp(DWAC)$ rose over 20% following Trump's victory in the first Republican contest in Iowa for 2024 presidential race.

On the other hand, China stocks plunged on Trump’s win.

Do you agree that reality is a meme?

Are you a “poor” based on the above standard?

    🌟🌟🌟There is a saying by Mark Twain "Truth is stranger than Fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities, Truth isn't. "

    I wonder why would Robert Kiosaki of Rich Dad Poor Dad's fame reveal that he has USD 1.2 billion in debt?  That is a massive amount.  The reality is he wants the world to know that he is making use of other people's money to make more money. 

     There is good debt and bad debt.  Good debt is like a bank loan on a house which can appreciate in value over time.  A bad debt is like buying a car which is a depreciating asset that does not increase in value over time.

    But his statement "because if I go bust, the bank goes bust".  That sounds like a very irresponsible statement.  But the reality is in life we have to take risk for everything we do.  When we invest in the stock market we take a risk that the stocks can go bust but more likely than not, if we make right choices, they will continue to grow exponentially with themagic of compounding.

    Reality is a meme because what we perceive as fiction maybe a reality after all.  Different people have different perceptions and that's why the world is such an amazing place.

    well this is very misleading because you didn't mention his assets. what if he has 10 billion dollars in assets? then a 1 billion debt is nothing. so you have to look at the whole picture not just take the debt out of context.

    Life is like a joke.

    When u buy stock, the stock price drop. When u sell stock, the stock price goes up.

    Everyday, people raid for money. At the end of their life, they cannot take the money to their next life. 

    This is so hilarious!

    Currently, I do not have any debt on hand. I also don't know whether this is a good or bad things. Having debts doesn't mean you are poor or financially bad, just that you might invest your money elsewhere. Don't forget that rich people are usually full of debts! Do you agree with me? haha!

    有人說現實是一種迷因。最不可思議的事情總是在發生,不相關的事情會讓人大吃一驚。


    著名金融專家、《富爸爸,窮爸爸》一書的作者羅伯特·清崎(Robert Kiyosaki)最近透露,他的債務超過12億美元。

    Reality is really a Meme. The author of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, Robert Kiyosaki, is again way ahead of us. He shows the concept of “using debt to get rich”. He uses the idea of leveraging borrowed money, such as through real estate investments or starting a business, in order to generste income and build wealth. He shows debt recycling cam be an effective strategy to accumulate wealth over time. And most of all, he lives a rich lifestyle.

    There’s similarity btw robert & trump. Both aren’t the most truthful of people. Robert painted rich dad poor dad, as his own personal life experience. However, it has been found out that his so called life experience is faked so that he can flesh out his book for sales. There’s truth to the content in his financial advice, but have to take it with many pinches of salt. As his statement indicated, he doesn’t take responsibility for his actions or for people who follow him blindly, same like trump. Trump got caught inflating his property value to get benefits, y can’t robert do the same. He didnt state how exactly he derive the 1.2b debt. Is the figure inflated? Anyone can verify his figures? Is the debt spread over multiple businesses? He didnt state tt its personal debt. Corporate debt treatment is diff from personal debt. Tt’s y rich get richer cos they play the game. While poor get poorer, cos they are eaten up by the game. Either we learn to play the game, or we get played.

    Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can. The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives. It’s more important to uphold love and compassion above greed and wealth cos there will be payback time.

  • It is perfectly fine to be in debt. There is a distinction between good debt and bad debt. Bad debts cause miseries in life as they cannot generate profitable returns. Good debts gave you generous profitable returns more than the money you owed. Of course there are risks to be in debts. Good debts can become bad debts and cause you unforseen miseries including bankruptcy, be it individual or businesses.

    I totally agree that reality is a meme. I think I am really poor in the above standard. I am not surprised that Robert Kiyasaki has over 1.2 billion in debt because nowadays, rich people always take loans or use future money. Even the new generation now always use up all the limit of their credit card, not to mention monthly zero saving.

    确实要把他拥有的资产披露出来才能做比较。不然这样没什么意义。

    Hmm might be possible assuming you are treating debt well. Aka using it to generate more income than the interest incurred.

    不过可以达到12亿的债务,想必他也是很有钱和资产。
