Robert Kiyosaki’s Bold Prediction: A Financial Crisis on the Horizon
On Tuesday, February 17, renowned author and financial expert Robert Kiyosaki, famous for his best-selling book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ issued a stark warning to his followers. Kiyosaki took to social media to assert that the major economic downturn he predicted over a decade ago is now on the verge of reality.
Flashback to ‘Rich Dad’s Prophecy’
In his 2013 publication, ‘Rich Dad’s Prophecy,’ Kiyosaki predicted that the next significant stock market crash would be unparalleled in history. Now, he reiterates his belief that this catastrophic event is imminent.

Despite the ominous nature of his warning, Kiyosaki expressed an unusual sense of anticipation. He views such economic downturns as opportunities, describing them as moments when ‘priceless assets go on sale.’
Why Kiyosaki Embraces the Impending Crash
Kiyosaki remains unfazed by the predicted crash due to his strategic investments in resilient long-term assets. He has consistently emphasized his trust in two precious metals—Gold and Silver—and two leading cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
Moreover, the seasoned investor has stated his intention to acquire more of these assets once the market downturn begins. He encourages his followers to adopt a similar strategy, urging them with the advice: “Let this crash make you richer.”
Evaluating the Validity of Kiyosaki’s Forecasts
The current instability in the stock, cryptocurrency, commodity, and currency markets in early 2026 lends some credibility to Kiyosaki’s predictions. However, it is important to acknowledge that he frequently issues warnings of an impending financial collapse.
It has become somewhat of a meme among followers, as Kiyosaki is often jokingly credited with predicting far more recessions than have occurred.
Questioning Asset Purchase Claims
Kiyosaki’s assertions about purchasing more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum are also open to scrutiny. Despite claiming continued investments in these assets throughout 2025, he admitted in a 2026 post that he hadn’t bought Bitcoin for years or gold for decades.
Nevertheless, his investment strategy, often dubbed the ‘Robert Kiyosaki portfolio,’ has reaped rewards in recent years, bolstered by the cryptocurrency and commodity surge.
Responding to critics questioning his acquisition claims, Kiyosaki argued that the strategic approach is more critical than the precise timing of transactions.
