Robert Kiyosaki, a best-selling author and seasoned investor, has a distinct philosophy on debt and investment. In a Nov. 30 Instagram reel, Kiyosaki elaborated on his debt philosophy, highlighting a critical distinction between assets and liabilities.
He said many people use debt to buy liabilities, while he uses debt to purchase assets. To illustrate his approach, Kiyosaki said his luxury vehicles, like a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce, are fully paid off, categorizing them as liabilities rather than assets.
In the reel, Kiyosaki also expressed skepticism toward saving cash, referencing the U.S. dollar’s detachment from the gold standard in 1971 under President Richard Nixon. Instead of saving cash, he saves gold and converts his earnings into silver and gold. This strategy, according to Kiyosaki, has led to an accumulation $1.2 billion in debt, an amount he admits to. He says he is in debt because “if I go bust, the bank goes bust. Not my problem.”
