Rich Dad's Success Stories profiles a diverse cross-section of more than two dozen of these people, from many different economic backgrounds -- couples in their twenties, people who've lost their jobs and investments, retirees, those who've declared bankruptcy, budding entrepreneurs, even teenagers who can't wait to enjoy the freedom that comes with financial success.

Among the real-life stories are:

Thomas K. is a 33-year-old former Navy man who was living paycheck-to-paycheck before reading Rich Dad. Inspired to change his financial condition for his family, he started to buy small rental properties, and now is set for life.

Tracy R. declared bankruptcy in 1993, and then read Rich Dad to start over. She started to slowly invest in vending machines, a shaved ice business, and a few other small local companies. Now, her monthly cash flow is so strong that she no longer worries about having to hold a job.

After playing the Rich Dad board game, Cashflow 101, Jake C. was able to buy his first rental property. Not too bad for a 13-year-old kid!
