The Sandy Weill story is truly one for the ages. Starting with $30,000 of borrowed cash in 1960 and relying upon uncanny entrepreneurial instincts in the corporate world, Sandy Weill made himself into a billionaire. With an amazing ability to put together huge deals, this businessman from modest roots ultimately rose to become president of American Express, only to see his empire crash and burn. Undaunted, Weill then started over with a second-tier consumer loan company called Commercial Credit, which eventually led to his top position at CitiGroup before he retired. At CitiGroup, Weill delivered an astounding 2600% return to investors — better than Jack Welch or Warren Buffett during that same period. But success is never an easy path and, in THE REAL DEAL, Sandy Weill presents all the high and low points of his career along the way — warts and all. Weill's ascent to power has been documented by the business media over the years, but never before has Sandy gone on the record to tell readers his unvarnished side of the story.

Personal finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective from two very different influences — two fathers. One father (Robert's real father) was a highly educated man but fiscally poor. The other was the father of Robert's best friend — that dad was a college drop-out who became a self-made multi-millionaire. In this follow-up to the bestselling Rich Dad, Poor Dad, he reveals the secret of how the wealthiest people become wealthier by presenting some simple investing secrets and explaining how anyone can enjoy cash benefits merely by knowing where and how best to invest their money. The author's nuts-and-bolts approach to personal finance and understanding the real earning power of money has gained him a huge following, particularly as he knows all he describes from first-hand experience. Once so cash poor that he and his wife were forced to sleep in their car, today the Kiyosakis are multi-millionaires and highly sophisticated and experienced investment experts.
