Both Men Are Teachers
Both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are successful
entrepreneurs and investors. Both men do business and are
recognized internationally. Both men are also teachers. Both men
are best-selling authors, produce educational board games, speak
at financial education events, and both have educational
television programs. Donald Trump has his megahit network
television show, The Apprentice and Robert Kiyosaki has his
television show, Rich Dad's Guide to Wealth, on PBS, the highly
acclaimed educational public television network.
Both men are teachers, not because they need more money.
They are both teachers because they are concerned about the fate
of you and your family, this nation and the world.

money to causes they believe in. But Donald and Robert are giving

can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or teach him to fish
and feed him for a lifetime. Instead of just writing checks to help
the poor and middle class, Donald and Robert are teaching them
to fish. In addition, a portion of every book sale will be donated
to other organizations that also teach financial literacy.
