As global economic uncertainty intensifies, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a stark warning on social media about a major market crash on the horizon. Rather than panic, he sees it as a rare wealth-building opportunity and reiterates his long-standing investment strategy focused on non-traditional assets.
Kiyosaki: Market Crash Is a Chance for Wealth Transfer
In a March 27 post on X, Kiyosaki cited the writings of Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus to argue that times of financial turmoil are ideal for accumulating real assets. "I plan to become richer in a market crash," he wrote. He made it clear he avoids investing in the S&P 500, U.S. Treasury bonds, mutual funds, or ETFs, and does not save cash. "I never invest in anything issued by governments, banks, or Wall Street," he stated.
Kiyosaki emphasized his preference for oil, real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, along with food production. He considers these assets "real" while fiat currencies and derivatives are "fake." He warned that when central banks print money en masse, assets tied to them lose value.
From Selling to Reaccumulating: Kiyosaki's Tactical Moves
Notably, Kiyosaki sold about $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin in November 2025 at roughly $90,000 per coin (his original purchase price was around $6,000). He used the proceeds to invest in two surgery centers and outdoor billboard businesses, expecting to generate $27,500 per month in tax-free income. However, in 2026 he has returned to buying mode, preparing for a potential collapse.
Kiyosaki revealed that he is using cash flow from oil production, livestock farming, and publishing to increase his holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum. "I save real gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum," he said. He reiterated that he started by buying six Bitcoin for $600, skipping meals to afford them. "I love real things. I hate fake things."
Global Business Empire Supports Long-Term Strategy
Kiyosaki detailed his diversified business empire: book publishing, distribution of the Cashflow board game in over 50 languages, management of 1,500 rental properties (acquired through debt), oil production in Texas and North Dakota, and livestock operations. He believes in creating passive income through productive and scarce assets.
In a FAQ section, Kiyosaki explained why he avoids traditional assets, which assets he prioritizes, how his strategy handles recession risks, and his core principle — keep it simple, focus on "real and scarce" assets, and hold for the long term.
Overall, Kiyosaki's remarks reflect a deep skepticism toward the fiat monetary system and strong confidence in crypto assets like Bitcoin as stores of value. Despite the looming crash risk, he is poised to use volatility to leapfrog in wealth.
