However, Kiyosaki believes he could get richer through such a scenario. Taking to X on Friday, he explained how. The popular author said that if predictions of a global economic crisis beginning in 2026 come true, he will likely benefit.
“Those who have followed me for years already know I do not invest in stocks such as the S&P 500, US bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, or save cash,” he said, adding that he follows the ‘KISS’ rule — Keep it super simple.
How Kiyosaki makes money
Kiyosaki explained that he sells his books worldwide and raises and sells Wagyu cattle (a Japanese breed known for beef). He also earns from oil produced by his wells in Texas and other parts of the US. In addition, the author rents out around 1,500 housing units each month, which he purchased using debt. He also saves in physical gold and silver, as well as cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
“I started with nothing while still flying for the US Marines and almost never sell. Like many of you, I had no money to start with… but I just bought small assets, held them for years, and almost never sold. Most of you know I bought my first six Bitcoin for $600 — all the money I had — and did not eat for days. It took plain and simple US Marine Corps discipline and close friends, not with money but with spiritual support,” he wrote in his post on X.
Billionaire Warren Buffett is also waiting for opportunities
Kiyosaki claimed that even billionaire investor Warren Buffett has sold billions of dollars worth of stocks and is sitting on large cash reserves, waiting for markets to fall so he can buy assets at lower prices.“Rich lesson on investing: Investors who can see the future are the investors who get richer. The ‘buy, hold, and pray’ crowd will be the biggest losers,” he added.
“What are you going to do? Follow Buffett’s plan, go to cash, and prepare to buy real assets at really low prices — and get rich. Personally, if a bank or Wall Street can print it, I don’t want it. But that’s just me. I love oil, real estate, gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and food production,” he further said.
Kiyosaki also advised investors not to be like the millions of people who simply think but take no action.
What Nostradamus predicted for 2026
Nostradamus, who is often credited with predicting events such as Adolf Hitler’s rise and the French Revolution as early as the 16th century, made several ominous prophecies for 2026.
“Seven months great war, people dead through evil / Rouen, Evreux the King will not fail,” he wrote — a passage that many interpret as being linked to ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Another striking prediction reads: “The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt.” Many interpret this as the possible death of a major world leader.
Who was Edgar Cayce
Edgar Cayce was an American clairvoyant who, in 1935, predicted the beginning of World War II. He is also believed to have predicted the deaths of two US presidents — Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy — though these claims remain debated.
He is also often credited with predicting the Wall Street Crash of 1929 that led to the Great Depression.
