Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Why a Financial Collapse Could Be Closer Than You Think
New Delhi | May 3, 2025 — As global markets show signs of instability, renowned financial author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a bold warning: a financial collapse bigger than the 2008 crisis could be on the horizon.
Kiyosaki, who is known for his unorthodox financial views, believes that the current economic instability, compounded by layoffs and growing fears of unemployment, is a precursor to what he calls a “New Great Depression.” Despite the grim forecast, Robert Kiyosaki’s message is not one of panic, but of preparation.
A Bleak Economic Forecast
Kiyosaki’s prediction of a major market collapse goes back to his 2004 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy, where he warned that an unstable retirement system and a growing global economy would eventually lead to a major financial downturn. His warnings turned prophetic during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and now he believes we are on the brink of another disaster, which could be even worse.
“This recession may turn into a full-blown depression,” Robert Kiyosaki warns. “But for those who are ready, it could be the opportunity of a lifetime.”
Buffett’s $325 Billion Cash Pile
Kiyosaki isn’t the only one sounding the alarm. Recently, Warren Buffett, one of the world’s most successful investors, has been quietly building his largest cash reserve ever—$325 billion. While Buffett has not revealed his plans, Robert Kiyosaki sees this as a strategic move, one that signals Buffett’s readiness to seize opportunities in a potential market crash.
“What do you think Buffett is prepared for?” Robert Kiyosaki asked, urging others to recognize that downturns often offer the best buying opportunities.
Real Assets Go on Sale
Kiyosaki advocates for financial agility. His solution to the impending downturn? Acquiring real assets. He emphasizes the value of commodities like gold, silver, oil, real estate, and even Bitcoin.
“If Bitcoin were to crash back to $300 a coin… would you cry or celebrate?” Robert Kiyosaki asks, challenging his audience to view downturns not as disasters, but as chances to acquire valuable assets at discounted prices.
