“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki has issued a chilling new warning.
“BIGGEST CRASH IN HISTORY STARTING,” he wrote in a recent post on X (1).

According to Kiyosaki, this is the very downturn he’s been predicting for more than a decade — and he believes the fallout will be severe.
“In 2013 I published RICH DADs PROPHECY predicting the biggest crash in history was coming. Unfortunately that crash has arrived. It’s not just the US. Europe and Asia are crashing. AI will wipe out jobs and when jobs crash office and residential real estate crashes.”
At first glance, his warning may seem at odds with the U.S. stock market, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain strong. Yet, the broader economic concerns and layoffs continue to dominate headlines (2).
“You put these uncertainties on top of each other — the heightened geopolitical situation in the Middle East, tariff uncertainty and potential AI displacement, and that’s leading investors to a broad risk reassessment,” Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis, told Reuters in an interview about the current market climate (3).
But Kiyosaki believes there’s a silver lining — this environment could create enormous opportunities for those who prepare.
“This coming crash may make you richer beyond your wildest dreams if you realize crashes are the best of times to get richer. Market crashes are priceless assets going on sale,” he wrote in a separate X post (4).
So how would Kiyosaki prepare?
“Time to buy more gold, silver, bitcoin and Ethereum,” he said.
Let’s take a closer look at these assets.
Kiyosaki has never been shy about his love for gold and silver — and in moments of crisis, he turns to them with even more conviction. His stance is clear: “I’m not buying gold because I like gold, I’m buying gold because I don’t trust the Fed,” he said in an interview back in 2021 (5).
Gold and silver have long been viewed as safe-haven assets. And amid rising economic uncertainty, precious metals have been among the best-performing assets over the past year.
