The Rich Dad Companies
Sharon Lechter has co-authored over a dozen different books under the Rich Dad brand with Robert Kiyosaki and coordinated or edited another 10 with the Rich Dad companies. She is one of three founding partners of the series of companies that fall under the Rich Dad brand with Robert Kiyosaki and Kim Kiyosaki. Robert Kiyosaki once said of Sharon Lechter that,
“Sharon is one of the few natural entrepreneurs I have ever met. In The Rich Dad Company, I am the horn and Sharon is the engine."
At the Rich Dad companies Sharon claimed credit for developing several board games, audio cassettes, seminars, CDs and interactive Web sites. She claims to be the co-inventor of the Cashflow for Kids board game and spearheaded the launch of Rich Dad's interactive Web site for kids. However, the companies' most well-known work is their very first book and the #1 New York Times bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
In 2012, Robert Kiyosaki is re-releasing all Rich Dad books, removing Sharon Lechter's name as co-author and putting his picture on all covers.
