Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," warned on May 22 that a financial crash is coming soon. He pointed to Jim Rickards' gold outlook and his own silver forecast as reasons for concern, telling investors to get ready before panic takes hold.
The warning from Kiyosaki
Kiyosaki said the crash is imminent. He didn't give a specific date but made clear that the time to act is now. His message was blunt: prepare before the panic spreads.
Why gold and silver matter
Kiyosaki cited Jim Rickards' work on gold as a key factor in his warning. Rickards has long argued that gold will rise sharply during economic turmoil. Kiyosaki also highlighted his own silver forecast, suggesting the metal will outperform other assets when the crash hits.
What investors are being told to do
Kiyosaki advised investors to buy silver and gold as a hedge. He didn't recommend selling everything, but urged people to hold physical metals. The message was clear: don't wait until everyone else is rushing to protect their money.
The warning comes at a time when markets have shown signs of instability. Kiyosaki's track record on big calls — like the 2008 crash — means some take his words seriously. Others remain skeptical, but the author insists the crash is closer than most think.
For now, the question is whether investors will heed the advice or hold out until panic actually arrives.
