Robert Kiyosaki started buying silver in 1965, when he was 18 and the metal cost pennies. Six decades later, he's still stacking — and calling it one of the best financial moves he's ever made.
Why he started at 18
Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," has been public about his longstanding silver position. He began accumulating the metal as a teenager, drawn to its low price and potential. The exact amount he holds isn't known, but his commitment has spanned bull markets, bear markets, and multiple economic cycles.
Over those 60 years, silver has delivered significant returns for long-term holders, though it has also suffered sharp corrections. Kiyosaki’s strategy appears to be pure accumulation: buy, hold, repeat.
The longevity of the approach
Few investors can claim to have held a single asset for six decades. Kiyosaki has been stacking silver longer than many of his readers have been alive. He hasn't sold — he's added more. The discipline, he says, is what made it work.
In recent years, Kiyosaki has also been vocal about gold, Bitcoin, and real estate, but silver remains the foundation. He has described it as a hedge against inflation and a bet on industrial demand, though his original thesis was simpler: buy what’s cheap and wait.
Kiyosaki says he intends to keep piling up silver. He hasn't given a target price or a sell signal. For now, the message is consistent with everything he's done since 1965 — keep stacking.
The question his followers are left with: if he’s still buying after 60 years, what does he see that others don't?
