Robert Kiyosaki Sounds Alarm: 'Biggest Stock Market Crash in History' Is Imminent - Here's How to Profit

Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Imminent 'Giant Crash'

On February 17, Robert Kiyosaki - author of the bestselling personal finance book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' - issued a stark warning to his followers via an X post. He declared that the 'biggest stock market crash in history' he predicted over a decade ago is now 'imminent.'

Kiyosaki referenced his 2013 book 'Rich Dad's Prophecy,' where he first forecasted this catastrophic market event. Despite the dire tone, he expressed excitement about the coming collapse, viewing it as an opportunity where 'priceless assets go on sale.'

Why Kiyosaki Is Excited About the Crash

Kiyosaki revealed he's not worried about his own financial well-being during the impending crash because he's invested in what he considers robust long-term assets. He specifically named four key investments:

• Gold and Silver (traditional commodities)
• Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) (leading cryptocurrencies)

The prominent investor not only reinforced his confidence in these assets but stated he plans to buy more of each once the crash begins. He urged his followers with the message: 'Let this crash make you richer.'

Questioning Kiyosaki's Track Record

While current market turbulence in early 2026 makes Kiyosaki's warnings sound plausible, it's worth noting that the author frequently predicts financial collapses. Internet users have joked that he's predicted '40 out of the last 4 recessions.'

Additionally, Kiyosaki's claims about purchasing gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum have been called into question. After stating he continuously invested in these assets throughout 2025, he later appeared to admit he hadn't bought Bitcoin in years and hadn't purchased gold in decades.

Despite these inconsistencies, the 'Robert Kiyosaki portfolio' has performed well in recent years amid the cryptocurrency and commodity boom. Kiyosaki defended himself against critics by arguing that overall investment strategy matters more than exact transaction timing.
