Robert Kiyosaki, one of the world’s leading entrepreneurs and financial forecasters, will share his provocative views on surviving economic disaster with Australian audiences at two major seminars next month.
Kiyosaki, author of the international blockbuster Rich Dad Poor Dad, which has sold 26 million copies, will join experts in online business, trading and property investment for the Masters of Wealth in Sydney (December 1) and Melbourne (December 2).
These specialist financial educators will share their essential strategies for wealth creation in 2015 – at a time when the clock is ticking on a global meltdown, according to Kiyosaki, who is renowned for his spot-on financial predictions.
“The world is in very serious trouble and the next 20 years will not be like the last two decades,” says Kiyosaki, who predicted the downfall of Lehmann Brothers investment bank in 2008 and the ensuing Global Financial Crisis.
“I foresee a global currency crash, like the one that ruined Germany in the 1920s, which will wipe out the poor and the middle class – as the rich get richer.
“People will see that money and shares are not real wealth, just paper, and the way to survive is by acquiring assets – like property, resources, gold and other precious metals. It’s hard to print a bar of gold or a tomato.”
Ominously, he predicts that nations that keep printing money will go under, warning: “If I was an Aussie doing business with Japan, in particular, I’d be very worried, because Japan will be the first country to fall.”
However, Kiyosaki, a frequent visitor Down Under, believes Australia is well placed to prosper in the coming crisis, with its resource riches and vast potential for food production. He says: “I’d be looking at acquiring farmland with water rights and tangible assets. Farmers might be a lot better off than the stockbrokers with their four-wheel-drives living in Bondi and Manly.”
Kiyosaki, who stirs up attention with statements like “savers are losers” and “your house is not an asset”, says better financial education is critical to wealth creation.
“Financial education is not what they teach in schools and universities, focusing on money and getting a job – that’s everything I’m opposed to. My message for Australians is a call to action: how to save yourself and protect your future with real financial intelligence.”
