Robert Kiyosaki’s CashFlow Quadrant
Kiyosaki often refers to The CASHFLOW Quadrant, a conceptual tool which he developed to categorize the four major ways income is earned. Depicted in a diagram, this concept entails four groupings, split with two crossed lines (one vertical and one horizontal). In each of the four groups there is a letter representing a way in which an individual may earn income. The letters are as follows.
- E: Employee – Working for someone else.
- S: Self-employed or Small business owner – Where a person owns his own job and is his own boss.
- B: Business owner – A person who owns a business to make money; typically where the owner’s physical presence is not required.
- I: Investor – Investing money in order to receive a larger income in the future or analyzes other businesses as potential investments.

A spokesman for Kiyosaki asserted that the amount of the award exceeded the value of Rich Global LLC and that Kiyosaki would not use money from outside the company to meet the judgement
