April 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the classic personal finance book "Rich Dad Poor Dad," which remains the #1 personal finance book of all time. Despite 25 years having passed since its original publication, readers will find that very little has changed in the book’s content—and for good reason. The principles of money and the lessons of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" have not changed. Today, as money continues to play a decisive role in our daily lives, the messages of Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more relevant and more important than ever.

Preserving the integrity of the original content proves that this book has truly stood the test of time. The observations throughout the book have been updated, but the core principles that parents and grandparents—those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago—share with the new generations have found that timeless wisdom and practical lessons can be applied to anyone’s life.

People from all cultures celebrate important milestones. We use these moments to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we have learned, and celebrate achievements… these moments give meaning to the journey of our lives. They are a way to unite the past, the present, and the future… looking back at where we started, where we find ourselves today… and the promise of all that the future may hold.

In the 25 years that have passed since the first publication of "Rich Dad Poor Dad"—25 years since April 8, 1997—so many things in our world have changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the urgent need for and power of financial education. Money remains a fundamental part of our lives.
