SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American:GNS), whose stock has surged over 300% in the past six months according to InvestingPro data, has appointed "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki as an advisor to its board, the company announced Tuesday.

Kiyosaki, whose financial literacy book has sold over 25 million copies worldwide and been translated into 45 languages, will advise the AI-powered education company on brand growth, expansion of entrepreneur and financial education programs, and development of its Bitcoin Treasury and Genius City model. The company, currently valued at $88.5 million, maintains a moderate debt level with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.08.

The bestselling author will also serve as keynote speaker at the company’s Genius Future Summit 2026. Kiyosaki has been a vocal critic of debt-based economies and an advocate for alternative assets including Bitcoin.

Genius Group CEO Roger James Hamilton noted that he first met Kiyosaki in Singapore in 1997 before the publication of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."

"With the launch of our Genius City and the growth of our Bitcoin Treasury, it’s taken close to thirty years for us to have finally reached the perfect time to benefit fully from Robert’s experience and expertise," Hamilton said.
