I remember reading in one of robert kiyosaki’s books that he made over a million dollars one year and payed 0 in taxes. How do they do this?
I understand that many personal things can be written off as a business expense, but you can only spend so much before not making a profit anymore…

    Instead of putting the money into their wallet so to say
    No pay check as we know it is made out to them
    One of the ways this is compacted for is
    They only receive a notification of a number of stocks being placed in their name
    This is not cash but a loan to a company to use the intended monies to make the company better for a monthly cost
    Stock returns it is called a monthly check the person receives to give graduate to letting the company use their monies
    And when they need it they cash in the stocks to cover the Dodge Viper and pay cash for it.
    They then clam the cost as a cost to sustain their living standards of a person in their class of notority
    When ever you invest you are giving someone else your money to do as they see fit
    a retirement investment is a good example

    Not true. They pay employee, payroll, etc taxes. What Robert Kiyosaki is discussing is legal ways to avoid taxes. For example, the tax rate on dividends is a fraction of income taxes. Also there are loopholes in the laws that protect wealth. For example, if you sell a house that is an investment property, you can avoid taxes if you buy another more expensive property.
    He is not talking about expensing away profit.

    In any given year, a business owner can have enough deductions or losses so they don’t have any taxable income that year. Over a few years, unless they’re in the process of losing their millions and going bankrupt, they’ll pay taxes.

    in stocks, you can carry forward losses for a few years to apply vs this years profits………

    I believe that Mr. Kiyosaki made a section 1031 exchange in which he, in essence, traded in some of his real estate at a million dollar profit and then turned around and bought other real estate with all of the money.
    in fact, to pull this off, he put zero money into his own pocket.
    however, his assets (on paper) and net worth (also on paper) did increase by one million USD (or more).
    does this help?

    Classic 1031 exchange. He sold the property for a 1 million dollar gain, but then bought a bigger property with the proceeds and didnt keep any money for himself. But the trick is, that if he ever wanted any of the money, he just needs to refi the next property and pull out however much he wants because its not considered income, its considered a loan. The business owners do pay taxes though, and thats not the same thing as real estate investing.
