Rich Kids University
Press coverage, brand assets, and media inquiries.
Most kids learn what a stock is for the first time in a college econ class. By then, the families who were already wealthy have had a fifteen year head start.
Rich Kids University was built to close that gap before it opens. RKU is a multigenerational digital learning platform teaching Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, Speech and Debate, History, Civics, Creative Writing, Word Power, and Workforce Development, built on the belief that wealth building is a skill, not an inheritance, and every child should be taught it early.
"Rich is not a bank account. Rich is a mindset we can teach." — Nicole Stewart, Founder
Our curriculum is built on four Content Pillars and four Pedagogical Pursuits, designed to move children from learning about money to building with it.
Why Now
The racial learning gap is not a gap in ability. It is a gap in information and exposure. Some children grow up learning who they are through history, finding their voice through speech and debate, and hearing how money and business work at the dinner table. Others never get any of it, not because they cannot learn it, but because no one around them was taught to teach it. Schools rarely fill that gap. Rich Kids University does, by putting that knowledge directly and personally in front of children who were never given the chance to hear it.
Reach
Rich Kids University started as a face to face program, working with a limited number of students at a time. Moving to a digital platform let RKU grow from serving 200 students in person to reaching 2,000 students in its beta program, without losing the personal, direct instruction the program was built on.
"Our goal is to be in every home and every community in the United States, making generational impact." — Nicole Stewart, Founder
