Robert Kiyosaki is an American author, investor and businessman, born in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1947, best known for the personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad (1997). A former US Marine helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam, he founded the Rich Dad Company and has written more than 25 books on money, investing and financial education.
Brian Rose has interviewed Kiyosaki 10 times on London Real between 2014 and 2025, making him one of the show’s most frequent guests. They have covered the lessons of Rich Dad Poor Dad, assets versus liabilities, financial education, inflation, gold, silver and Bitcoin, decentralised finance, interest rates and his repeated warnings of a coming financial crash.
Every interview is listed below in order, with a short summary of each.
Rich Dad Poor Dad (October 2014). His first London Real interview and the clearest account of his core ideas: assets, liabilities, cash flow and why he says the rich do not work for money. For his current outlook, watch The Greatest Financial Collapse In History Is Coming (2025).
Kiyosaki’s best-known idea is that the rich work to acquire assets, things that put money in your pocket, while most people buy liabilities they think are assets. Speaking in 2014, he argued that the family home is usually a liability, not an asset.
In almost every interview he returns to the point that schools teach maths and English but not money. In 2019 he told Brian Rose that people should work to learn skills rather than simply to earn a salary.
In his 2019 book FAKE and in later episodes, he argues that government-issued currency loses value through money printing, and says he prefers gold, silver and Bitcoin as protection.
From 2019 to 2025 Kiyosaki has repeatedly said that a major financial crash is close, pointing to debt, interest rate rises and bank failures.
Since 2021 he has talked about Bitcoin and decentralised finance as an opportunity. A June 2024 episode carried his prediction that Bitcoin would reach $350,000 that year; its price stayed well below that level.

Start with Rich Dad Poor Dad from October 2014, which sets out his core ideas about money. For his latest views, watch The Greatest Financial Collapse In History Is Coming from June 2025.
Ten times between 2014 and 2025. He appeared once in 2014, twice in 2019, once each in 2021 and 2022, three times in 2023, and once each in 2024 and 2025.
Rich Dad Poor Dad, first published in 1997, contrasts the money lessons Kiyosaki says he learned from his own father, an educated but struggling teacher, with those from his best friend’s father, a successful businessman. Its central message is to build assets that produce income.
No. In his first London Real interview in 2014 he argued that for most people the family home is a liability, because it takes money out of their pocket each month rather than producing income.
In episodes from 2021 onwards he describes Bitcoin, alongside gold and silver, as protection against what he calls fake money.
