Rich Dad Poor Dad author revives 2013 ‘prophecy’, says markets are crashing now; touts silver’s $200 target

Rich Dad Poor Dad author revives his 2013 ‘biggest crash’ prophecy, blames AI job losses, and doubles down on metals and crypto.

Robert Kiyosaki, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author who has spent years warning of an impending market reckoning, is once again telling followers that the reckoning has arrived. In an X post that went viral on Sunday, Kiyosaki declared that the “biggest crash in history” he first wrote about in 2013 is now unfolding, not just in the US, but across Europe and Asia as well.

His latest warning comes with a sharper peg than before: artificial intelligence. Kiyosaki argues that AI will wipe out jobs, and that a jobs shock will cascade into a crash in commercial and residential real estate.

BIGGEST CRASH IN HISTORY STARTING

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…

'Not final offer,' but a clear message: move to real assets

Kiyosaki reiterated that investors should “save gold, silver, Bitcoin, and recently, Ethereum,” but singled out silver and Ethereum as his top picks because, he says, they hold “industrial value” and are priced low relative to their potential.

He put numbers to the claim: silver is '$50 today,' he wrote, predicting a move to $70 soon and possibly $200 in 2026.

The familiar Kiyosaki paradox: apocalypse as opportunity

If you’ve followed Kiyosaki’s market calls, you know the script: collapse is coming, traditional assets will suffer, and the prepared will profit. This time too, he frames the coming volatility as a wealth-building opening, warning that 'millions will lose everything,' while those positioned in his preferred assets could emerge richer.

He also promised more posts to lay out how to 'get richer even as markets crash.'

Skeptics push back, hard

The post quickly attracted blowback. Several users called the warning repetitive and accused him of monetising fear, pointing to his long record of crash predictions.

Others questioned his credibility and mocked the apocalyptic tone, even as a few defended the larger caution about market cycles and AI disruption.

That split is not new. Earlier this month too, Kiyosaki posted that a 'massive crash' had begun and urged investors to protect themselves through silver, gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum, triggering a similar mix of alarm and eye-rolls.
