In an X post published late on May 10, the author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ Robert Kiyosaki , reissued his warning that 2026 will see the start of a new global economic crash . According to the famed investor , the financial crisis will only be bad news to those who are ‘blind,’ while it will represent an outstanding opportunity ‘for those that can see the future.’ Indeed, within the same social media post, Kiyosaki explained that one of his ‘Rich Dad lessons’ is that a mark of the best investors is the ability to see the future, seemingly linking his prediction and some of his previous investment choices as a sign that he is among the top traders. RICH DAD LESSON: The best investors can see the future: FOR EXAMPLE: in 1965, when I was 18 years old, I began stacking silver when silver cost pennies. In 2026 silver is one of best investments I own. Q: What do you see happening in the future? Q: What can you invest… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) May 11, 2026 Robert Kiyosaki reveals his best investment Specifically, the ‘Rich Dad’ author highlighted his decision to begin investing in Silver at 18 – as far back as 1965 – as leading to one of his strongest and most successful positions. While, at press time on May 11, the commodity is below its previous highs near $117, it is still approximately 6,140.31% above its mid-1960s value of $1.29 and at $80.50. This means that even if Robert Kiyosaki bought only $10 of the argent metal 61 years ago, he’d have $624.03. Had he managed to invest $1,000, he would have $62,403. Silver price all-time chart.

These are ‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki’s other top assets While in the May 10 X post, Robert Kiyosaki focused on silver as an excellent asset, his advice for weathering the crisis he has been predicting for years has remained largely consistent. Under the circumstances, traders keen to heed the ‘Rich Dad’s’ warnings would seek to purchase one additional commodity – and, simultaneously, the biggest asset in the world by market capitalization – Gold , and two cryptocurrencies : Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ). Notably, however, there is a possibility that Robert Kiyosaki has given up on one of his historical top picks . For example, he used to also recommend Solana ( SOL ) as an excellent investment in 2022, but has quietly stopped mentioning it over time. Featured image via The Rich Dad Channel YouTube The post R.
