Formula to populate information from an opportunity record to an account record

I am looking for a formula or any other means to populate information from an opportunity record to a contact record. For example, my users want to take the create date of the opportunity, opportunity type and opportunity stage and have that reflected in the contact record. While I know this is redundant, this is what they want so....any help would be appreciated.

You can't do this with Formula language because the Contacts and Opportunities do not have the necessary relationship. 

 

 

If they want to be able to see this information through the UI, then they just have to use Opportunity Contact Roles.

 

Also, a Contact can have multiple Opportunities associated with it, so I'm not sure how they expected you handle that in your formula.
