Financial author Robert Kiyosaki has triggered fresh anxiety in global markets by claiming that the “biggest stock market crash in history” is unfolding. In a dramatic social media post, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author said the crash he had predicted as far back as 2013 is no longer a future threat but a present reality.
While most investors fear falling markets, Kiyosaki framed the downturn as a massive opportunity for those who are financially prepared. “The coming crash will make you richer beyond your wildest dreams,” he said, describing the market collapse as a “sale” on valuable assets.
I Am Warning You: In Rich Dad’s Prophecy published 2013 I warned of the biggest stock market crash in history still coming.

That giant crash is now imminent.
The good news is those of you who followed my rich dad’s warning and prepared….the coming crash will make you richer…
Market Volatility Fuels Crash Fears
Kiyosaki’s warning comes amid heightened volatility across global markets in February 2026. Several asset classes have shown signs of stress:
Precious Metals
Gold and silver have experienced sharp sell-offs in recent sessions, with silver falling as much as 4% in a single day and testing key technical support levels.
Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin has struggled to maintain its momentum, recently slipping below the $70,000 mark, while Ethereum has moved sideways amid cooling retail investor interest.
Stocks and Bonds
Despite analysts projecting a relatively stable year for the S&P 500, Kiyosaki believes a massive market crash is imminent, predicting a major exodus from traditional stocks and bonds.
Kiyosaki’s ‘Real Asset’ Investment Strategy
The financial educator revealed that he is actively increasing his exposure to what he calls “real assets” such as physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He reiterated his long-standing belief that Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins makes it a powerful hedge against fiat currency and monetary debasement.
“I will be buying more Bitcoin as people panic,” Kiyosaki said, urging investors to prepare for market turmoil rather than fear it. According to him, financial crises create generational wealth-building opportunities for those with liquidity and conviction.
Crisis or Opportunity?
Kiyosaki’s warnings have often divided the financial community. Critics argue that he frequently predicts market crashes, while supporters view his philosophy as a contrarian approach that encourages financial literacy and asset ownership.
Whether his latest prediction proves accurate remains uncertain, but his message is clear: in times of panic, disciplined investors can find extraordinary opportunities.
