Laurens Boel

Laurens Boel joined the corporate world shortly after attaining an honours degree in computer science. In June 2014, after a three-year stint with a global IT company, he was retrenched and realised that his idea of climbing the corporate ladder and retiring happily at 65 was flawed. He joined Robert Kiyosaki’s ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ programme, where he learnt the principles of property investing. Five years later, Laurens is a full-time property investor, with portfolios in South Africa and the United Kingdom. He has founded five businesses, written six books and taught thousands of people his principles of financial freedom.
