Taking to X, the popular author claimed that a crash, possibly the “great depression”, is coming. However, it is up to the investors to decide if they want the crash to destroy them or make fortunes for them.
Kiyosaki plans on getting richer in upcoming crash
Kiyosaki said that he actually got richer, not poorer, in the previous crashes seen in 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019 and 2022. “And again in the coming giant crash of 2026-27…I plan on growing richer, not poorer,” he wrote.
“I wish the same for you. In a crash, recession, and depression, great assets go on sale. Get richer by purchasing assets on sale,” the popular finance author said.

Kiyosaki’s earlier predictions of 2026 market crash
This is not the first time Kiyosaki has predicted a massive crash this year. Earlier in March, he said that renowned French astrologer Nostradamus in the 1500s had predicted that a disaster would hit the world in 2026, and Edgar Cayce in the early 1900s had forecast a massive crash for the same year.
“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 in a post in March, adding that he follows the ‘KISS’ rule — Keep it super simple.
Kiyosaki highlighted 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.
Even Warren Buffett is sitting on cash
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, Kiyosaki claimed.
“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 in his earlier post.
