Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a stark warning to investors, claiming that the “biggest crash in history” is imminent and could unfold throughout the summer of 2025. In a tweet now viewed by millions, Kiyosaki referenced his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy, asserting that his long-standing prediction of a historic financial collapse is now coming to fruition. This comes at a time of extreme market volatility and uncertainty due to ongoing trade wars, high interest rates, inflation concerns, and more. However, Kiyosaki does say there is hope for investors who are willing to invest intelligently and capitalize on the current opportunities the market is presenting.
A Dire Warning for Boomers and Traditional Investors
Kiyosaki’s message is particularly pointed toward Baby Boomers, whom he believes are at greatest risk. He predicts that millions in his generation could see their retirement savings and investments “wiped out” as stocks, bonds, and real estate markets tumble. “Crash time is now and through this summer,” Kiyosaki posted, emphasizing that the downturn will not be limited to equities but will extend across all major asset classes.
Amid the anticipated chaos, Kiyosaki forecasts a massive migration of capital into alternative assets — specifically gold, silver, and Bitcoin (BTCUSD). He argues that as traditional markets falter, “billions will rush into gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” with these assets serving as safe havens during the turmoil.
Silver: The “Biggest Bargain” of 2025
While Kiyosaki remains bullish on gold (GCQ25) and Bitcoin, he singles out silver as the most compelling opportunity. He claims silver (SIN25), currently trading around $35 an ounce, is still 60% below its all-time high and could triple in value by the end of 2025. “The biggest bargain today is silver. In 2025 silver may 3X,” he wrote, urging investors to buy physical silver rather than exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which he dismisses as “fake money.”
“Silver is priced around $35 an ounce, which means almost everyone anywhere in the world…has a chance to grow richer…while millions grow poorer,” Kiyosaki stated, encouraging followers to act decisively to protect and grow their wealth.

Advice: Take Action or Be Left Behind
Kiyosaki’s message is clear: those who are proactive and shift their portfolios into what he calls “real assets” may not only preserve their wealth but could become “extremely rich” during the downturn. He ended his tweet with a call to action: “What are you going to do tomorrow…grow richer or grow poorer? Please choose to get richer.”
However, critics have pointed out that Kiyosaki has called “9 of the last 0 market crashes.” Resurfaced tweets show he has made similar calls in December of 2023, July of 2023, September of 2022, and September of 2021. His track record suggests that while it’s good to be wary of market conditions, as is true at any time as a prudent investor, it’s unclear how much stock you should actually put into his latest warning. Regardless, it’s never a bad idea to consistently reassess your portfolio, adjust to the times, and hedge your bets.
