Robert Kiyosaki said the “biggest crash in history” in global markets has already started, arguing that it will begin in Europe and Japan in 2026 before spreading worldwide. He linked the downturn to AI speculation, the war involving Iran, excessive debt, and the retirement of the baby boomer generation. Kiyosaki said he is not preparing by holding cash. Instead, he said he is positioned through his own businesses, income-producing real estate, investments in oil-producing wells, and holdings in Bitcoin, gold, and silver. He also said severe financial stress is likely to trigger another round of money printing. The report cited April data from the International Monetary Fund showing global public debt is close to 94% of GDP in 2025 and is projected to reach 100% by 2029. It also cited Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development figures showing that in 2025 there are 33 people aged 65 and over for every 100 people aged 20 to 64, with that number expected to rise to 52 by 2050.
