Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has once again reiterated his long-standing warning of an economic collapse, claiming that the biggest stock market crash in history could be unfolding in 2025.
In a February 8 post on X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki pointed to his 2014 book, Rich Dad’s Prophecy, where he predicted a severe financial downturn, and now believes his forecast is coming true.
RICH DADS PROPHECY: In 2014 I published RD’s Prophecy predicting the biggest stock market crash in history.

Unfortunately that “prophecy” is coming true, in 2025.
Markets are crashing and my concern is the world may be entering into another “Greater Depression.”
If…
“Unfortunately, that ‘prophecy’ is coming true in 2025,” Kiyosaki wrote, adding:
“Markets are crashing, and my concern is the world may be entering into another ‘Greater Depression.’ If correct… millions will lose their jobs, stocks, and homes.”
Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin: Kiyosaki’s Safe Haven Assets
Kiyosaki has long advised individuals to prepare for financial crises by accumulating gold, silver, and Bitcoin (BTC).
“For years, I have been advising people to do what I do … which is buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin.”
His recommendation is based on the idea that traditional markets are vulnerable, while hard assets and decentralized assets like BTC can act as hedges against financial instability.
Entrepreneurship and Real Estate as Financial Shields
Beyond investing in precious metals and crypto, Kiyosaki urges individuals to focus on self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship as ways to navigate economic downturns.
- Own land and produce essential goods – He suggests farming vegetables, eggs, and cattle as a means of financial stability.
- Real estate opportunities – While a crash could bring turmoil, it could also create buying opportunities for those who are prepared.
Kiyosaki cautioned prospective investors to educate themselves before entering real estate, emphasizing that understanding market cycles is crucial.
Has Kiyosaki Been Right Before?
Kiyosaki is known for making bold economic predictions, often warning of market crashes and financial upheaval.
While some of his past forecasts have not materialized as expected, his emphasis on financial preparedness, asset diversification, and self-reliance has resonated with many investors.
Despite his warning of difficult times ahead, Kiyosaki believes that for those who are financially prepared, a “Greater Depression” may present the best opportunity to build wealth.
“Yet a Greater Depression… may be your best time to get richer.”
