The Unexpected Partnership Behind Midas Touch

Before their separate paths in real estate and self-help literature, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki teamed up to write a guide on entrepreneurial success. Their collaboration was sparked by a shared venture at The Learning Annex.

The pair first met through their mutual involvement in educational seminars where they realized their philosophies on wealth shared a common goal. Impressed by the massive popularity of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Trump saw potential in Kiyosaki’s approach to financial literacy. They eventually co-authored two books together, focusing on why some people build empires while others struggle. This partnership remains a curious chapter in the history of popular business literature.
