Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is in the news again after predicting that the economic crash he talked about in his popular book is due to happen in 2025. Kiyosaki has been one of the loudest doom-callers in the financial world for decades, and his latest comments have triggered an avalanche of comments from his X followers, who have since been tackling him.
If Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad’s prophecy is to be believed, the “biggest stock market crash in history” is either already imminent or could potentially escalate into a “Greater Depression.” In a recent post on X, he reminded his followers about how he “predicted the biggest crash in world history was coming” in “Rich Dad’s Prophecy.”

In his post, he said, “That crash will happen this year.” “Baby Boom Retirements are going to be wiped out. Many boomers will be homeless or living in their kids’ basements. Sad.” Kiyosaki proceeded to remind them again about how he has warned everyone to invest in only “real assets” and not printed assets.
“For years I have been saying save gold, silver, Bitcoin, and recently Ethereum,” he wrote. “Today I believe silver and Ethereum are the best because they are stores of value…but more importantly….used in industry….and prices are low.” He urged readers to “study pros and cons and usefulness of silver and Ethereum” before investing. “That’s how you elevate your own financial intelligence and get richer,” he concluded.
2025 has only a couple of months left, but Kiyosaki is saying a crash will still happen, compounding the market’s weekend struggles. His tweet has attracted a lot of heat since it went up, as users, many of whom have probably heard him say similar things in previous years, called him out.
Users were quick to remind him in the comment section that the prophecy has yet to happen, even though he has been warning about it for years and has ramped up those warnings since the beginning of the year. President Trump’s 100% tariff announcement in retaliation for China’s escalation of rare earths supply restrictions rocked the S&P 500 and led to record levels of liquidations in crypto markets. Germany and France are also facing their own economic issues.
At home, the US is facing a debt overload with credit card debt at an all-time high and a rising national debt crisis. There is also the endless money printing affecting savings, and Trump’s tariffs and ongoing trade wars are slowing down growth in major economies. With everything going on, it would not be surprising if a crash were to occur. However, many want to hope he is wrong, while others simply refuse to consider the possibility.
