Robert Kiyosaki has drawn attention over a reported $1.2 billion debt tied to his real-estate investment portfolio. The “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author presents debt as a tool for acquiring income-producing assets, although he does not personally owe the entire amount. According to the New York Post, Kim Kiyosaki linked the liabilities to her former husband’s real-estate holdings. Kim explained that the debt finances approximately 1,500 apartment units, which may generate rental income.
