For most people, carrying $1.2 billion in debt would be a terrifying prospect. But for Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, it's no cause for concern. And an August 2026 Vanity Fair profile offers some important context behind that eye-popping figure.
Kiyosaki doesn't personally owe $1.2 billion, according to his former wife and longtime business partner Kim Kiyosaki. Rather, the debt is held by a group of real estate investors, including Kiyosaki and his partners, tied to roughly 1,500 apartment units. His personal share is reportedly much smaller (1).

Robert Kiyosaki has never been shy about issuing dire financial warnings. But with America's national debt reaching a staggering new milestone, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author is turning up the volume.
"$40 TRILLION US NATIONAL [debt] soon!!" Kiyosaki wrote (1) on X. "What are you doing about it?"

Robert Kiyosaki warned followers on X that the US Treasury is printing more fake dollars, pointing to an expanded buyback program for longer-dated Treasury securities.
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad labeled the move another round of quantitative easing in disguise.
Quantitative easing refers to a central bank expanding the money supply by purchasing financial ***** ets, typically to lower long-term interest rates. Officials, however, describe this specific measure differently.
The Treasury raised the maximum size of its buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per auction for 10- to 30-year bonds, effective September 9.
The announcement followed a sharp rise in long-term yields, with the 30-year bond briefly reaching levels not seen in nearly two decades. Officials described the larger buybacks as a liquidity measure rather than formal quantitative easing, noting that only the Federal Reserve can expand the monetary base.

Robert Kiyosaki has made a career out of predicting financial turmoil, but his latest warning may be his starkest yet.
"We're being set up," he said during a recent appearance on the Minority Mindset (1) podcast. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author believes the baby boomer generation is on the verge of a retirement crisis fueled by an unconscionable stock market collapse.

Robert Kiyosaki has spent decades telling people to buy ***** ets, build cash flow and stop relying on a paycheck.
But if the Rich Dad Poor Dad author lost everything tomorrow and had just $10,000 to rebuild, he says his first move would not be to buy stocks, crypto or real estate.

The people who shape financial decisions aren't always investors—they're often the teachers, mentors and advisers whose ideas take root long before someone ever buys their first **** et.
"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki says that's why choosing the right teachers may be one of the most important financial decisions a person can make.
"Most school teachers, they're good people, you know, they mean well," Kiyosaki said on the "School of Hard Knocks" podcast in 2025. "They're employees. They need job security. They need a pension.
"And that's going to affect your brain because that's who they are spiritually. They're cowards. No, not really," he continued. "But choose your teachers wisely."

China has been reshaping its financial strategy for years — and Robert Kiyosaki believes most Americans haven't noticed.
In a recent Instagram post (1), the Rich Dad Poor Dad author argued that China has been steadily reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds while aggressively adding to its gold reserves, stating, "This isn't politics… It's risk management."

Right now, the cash in your savings account is almost certainly earning you nothing. The national average savings rate is 0.38%, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC (1)), which means $10,000 left in a savings account for a year would earn about $38, about a cup of coffee a month.
So a 6% headline would grab anyone's attention fast, and that's what X Money is offering.

When an employee leaves a business, the company pays for the departure. In fact, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) (1) estimates that the costs of replacing a worker can range between 50% and 200% of the employee's salary. This includes direct and indirect costs like severance pay, recruitment, onboarding, training, lost productivity and temporary staffing.
In light of this high price, it's not surprising that some companies take creative approaches to try to deter top performers from leaving. For example, some businesses may even offer forgivable loans (2) to attract and keep talent. But how exactly do these work and are they a good idea for employees to accept?

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two of the largest makers of memory chips on the planet, will invest a combined $590 billion alongside the South Korean government to build a sprawling new manufacturing complex in an effort to relieve the AI-driven shortage that has sent the price of computer memory soaring worldwide.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, standing alongside Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, unveiled the plan on Monday at the Blue House in Seoul. The president announced plans to strengthen the country's leadership in semiconductors and expand its AI infrastructure through large-scale investments and new manufacturing capacity, saying South Korea must move faster than rivals to secure the technologies underpinning the AI era, according to CNBC (1).

For years, cargo theft has been a retailer's problem — criminals intercepting consumer goods like electronics and sneakers before they ever hit store shelves. Now, organized theft rings have found a new, far more lucrative target: the supply chain feeding America's data center construction boom.
Investigators with the Cook County Sheriff's Office in Illinois recovered two stolen trailers loaded with $1.3 million worth of data center materials at a truck yard in Elk Grove Township (1), just outside Chicago, according to Business Insider (2).

Watching a stock you own fall by half can make you want to panic-sell or pray the price returns to your entry point so you can exit. But Michael Burry, made famous by the film The Big Short, used a June Substack post to argue that selling is the wrong move (1).
He wrote that once you're deep underwater on a stock, it doesn't matter how much you paid for the stock. The only number that counts is the stock's current price, because that's where your next gain or loss will be measured from.

After many members of the class of 2025 spent months searching for work despite graduating from top business schools, new data suggests the outlook isn't improving.

Abdul-Kafi opened Kafi BBQ in Irving, Texas, in December 2024 (2) — a halal barbecue restaurant that he says generated just under $2.3 million in total revenue in its first year. He's projecting between $3.6 and $4 million for 2026.

Getting hit by another driver is bad enough. What makes it genuinely worse is discovering, somewhere between the police report and the first adjuster call, that you both pay insurance premiums to the same company.
Imagine Maya, a 34-year-old graphic designer in Columbus, Ohio, who got rear-ended at a stoplight in March. The other driver admitted fault on the spot. Maya filed a police report, took photos, and opened a claim with her insurer that same afternoon. Then, a few days later, when she followed up on the claim status, she noticed the same adjuster name appearing on both sides of the correspondence — hers and the other driver's.

Rockstar Games may have spent about as much — or more — developing Grand Theft Auto VI as it cost to build the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet, says a viral comparison (1). Both land near $1.5 billion.
Analysts believe Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO), its parent company, could earn that entire sum back within days of the game going on sale November 19 — and unverified reports suggest the early sales pace is already running ahead of those projections.
Let's take a look at how likely these viral claims are.

SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) priced its IPO (1) at $135 a share on June 12 and promptly went on a tear. Within four trading days, it climbed roughly two-thirds, touching $225 and a valuation near $3 trillion. Then it gave most of that back, sliding more than 30% to around $153, where it trades now — still roughly a $2 trillion company.
None of that round trip had any bearing on what happened next in millions of retirement accounts. On June 18, just five trading days after the listing, ****** eX entered the CRSP US Total Market Index — the benchmark behind the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (NYSEARCA:VTI), one of the most widely held funds in America and many other index funds.
That's the part worth understanding, because it's about to happen two more times.

Ford made a grave mistake with AI, and has learned the hard way what happens when you overcommit to the technology without properly training it — alienating top talent in the process.
The automaker said this week that it relied too heavily on AI instead of experienced engineers to bring its cars to market. Because of this, Ford has reversed course in the last three years and hired, promoted or rehired 350 experienced technical specialists as part of a sweeping effort to shore up vehicle quality control.

It's fairly common for people to ask a family member to co-sign a loan, but a parent asking an adult child who just graduated from college for such help is a different story.
Imagine Becky, a 23-year-old whose parents recently asked her to co-sign a $50,000 personal loan. Becky's parents hope the loan will allow them to consolidate credit card balances carrying interest rates between 25% and 35%. They told her they can't qualify for a favorable rate on their own, despite earning a combined income of roughly $90,000.

As President Donald Trump stood on a podium in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, he went apparently off script to name check a pair of companies (1). Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, which he called "a great company," was touted for investing $3.5 billion in a manufacturing facility. And Nokia, he said, was investing $30 million to expand its semiconductor packaging and testing facility.
The companies got the shout-outs for bringing jobs to the state and for their investments in American facilities. But when Trump talks positively about publicly traded companies, skeptics start probing deeper.
