Acknowledgments
My rich dad always said, Business and investing are team sports. The same can be said when writing a bookespecially a book like the one you have in your hands. We have made history with Rich Dads Conspiracy of the Rich. As the first truly interactive online book in the Rich Dad series, it took me into uncharted waters. Thankfully, I have a great team, and I relied on them often. Each one of them stepped up to the plate and delivered far beyond my expectations.
Above all, thank you to my brilliant and beautiful Kim, for her encouragement and support. Youve been with me along every step of our financial journey, both the good and not so good. You are my partner and my reason for success.
Thank you to Jake Johnson for his help in shaping the book and my thoughts, and for helping take this book from an idea to a reality.
And, as always, many thanks to the Rich Dad Team members who are in the trenches every day, and who have persevered and stuck with Kim and me through thick and thin as weve followed our passions and shared our mission of financial education and personal responsibility. You are the heartbeat of our organization.

Has Anything Changed?
Unfortunately, not much has changed since Rich Dads Conspiracy of the Rich was first published in 2009. The nations bankers and political leaders continue on the same path with the same policies that led up to the crash of 2007.
Albert Einstein once said, The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
His definition needs to be updated to:
Why not keep doing the same things as long as no one cares?
Who cares if the ultra-rich put the global economic system on the verge of collapse? Who cares that entire countries, states, and cities are in bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy? Who cares that millions of people have lost their jobs? Who cares that millions of homeowners have lost their homes? Who cares that the rich get richer when theyre lucky, and that the taxpayers pay the bills when the rich are unlucky?
Simply said, the Conspiracy of the Rich has made the rich richer. Rather than put the bankers in jail, theyve paid billions of dollars in bonuses. Rather than put corrupt politicians on trial, they were offered day jobs by the very same corrupt corporations they were look-outs for while the bank robberies were taking place and when they should have been watchdogs and advocates for their constituencies and the American people. So far, not one high-level banker or politician has been charged, much less brought to trial.
