Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Imminent Market Crash; Tips Silver at $200, Gold at $100k

Mumbai, May 25: American entrepreneur, investor, and motivational author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for the global bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again sent a jolt through financial markets by issuing a fresh and unambiguous warning: a market crash is imminent, and those who fail to act now risk being left behind.

Social Media Post

In a recent post on social media, Kiyosaki delivered his message with characteristic bluntness. “Crash imminent,” he wrote, before pointing investors toward the two hard assets he has long championed gold and silver. Citing veteran market strategist Jim Rickards, Kiyosaki noted that gold could eventually climb to $100,000 per ounce, a figure that sounds extraordinary against the current spot price of $4,500. His own call on silver was equally bold: he projected the metal would hit $200 an ounce, more than double its current price of around $75. “The best investors are able to see the future and take action. Remember you do not have to be a victim in this crash. You can get richer,” he added.

Warning at a Crucial Time

The warning lands at a moment when global financial markets are already navigating a complex and unsettled macro environment. Elevated geopolitical tensions stemming from the ongoing US-Iran war, persistent inflationary pressures, rising government debt levels across major economies, and uncertainty surrounding central bank rate policy have collectively kept investors on edge. Kiyosaki’s comments have reignited debate about whether the world is approaching a major financial reset and whether hard assets like gold and silver represent the most effective shelter from the storm.

For years, Kiyosaki has consistently advocated moving money out of paper currencies and conventional financial assets and into what he calls “real assets” gold, silver, and Bitcoin. His latest broadside reinforces that long-standing philosophy, and his ability to command attention across millions of followers means that even sceptical observers take note when he raises the alarm. Whether one agrees with his timeline or his price targets, the underlying concern he points to that debt-laden economies and overstretched equity valuations are vulnerable to a sharp correction is shared by a growing number of mainstream analysts.

Silver & Gold Prices

In India, silver prices were steady on Monday, with the national rate holding firm at ₹2,850 per 10 grams unchanged from Friday’s close as the metal appeared to have found a workable floor after the post-tariff correction that dragged prices from a spike-high of ₹3,100 per 10 grams on May 14. Southern cities Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kerala maintained their ₹100 structural premium at ₹2,950 per 10 grams, while Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Pune all held at the national benchmark. Industrial buyers in electronics, silverware, and solar panels are reported to have re-engaged at current levels, lending demand support that has stabilised the metal.

Gold prices in India slipped marginally on Monday, with 24-karat gold easing ₹110 to ₹1,59,380 per 10 grams from Friday’s ₹1,59,490, while 22-karat gold declined ₹100 to ₹1,46,100 and 18-karat gold shed ₹80 to ₹1,19,540. The modest pullback extends Friday’s mild correction and keeps the metal within the narrow consolidation range established after last week’s three-session recovery that had clawed back ₹3,710 per 10 grams following the steep post-tariff correction. Globally, gold spot prices held broadly steady, with geopolitical uncertainty around the West Asia conflict continuing to provide a floor while a firmer US dollar and profit-taking at higher levels capped the upside.
