Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, who had claimed earlier that we are facing one of the biggest stock market crashes in history, just made an explosive claim in a late Monday X post that the crash has already started in Europe and Japan and is spreading across the world.

He believes multiple factors are driving the supposed fall of stock markets, including the AI frenzy, the escalating Middle East conflict, US debt of over $40 trillion, and a retiring Baby Boomer generation.

Kiyosaki warned that those who have '401(k), IRA, or Superannuation' could be in trouble, especially those aged 40 and above.

'The last depression lasted 25-years from 1929 to 1954. For those who were prepared like the Kennedy family was prepared... the Great Depression was the most prosperous time in their lives,' Kiyosaki wrote, while urging investors to avoid becoming a victim.

'There is still a little time before mom, pop, and kids wake up and the panic and bank runs begin,' he added.

The renowned author highlighted that he had been sharing his personal investment choices for years, like income-generating real estate, creating stakes in oil-producing wells, and ramping up investments in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, but not cash, to help people avoid a potentially devastating economic downturn.

Boomers Face Widespread Homelessness

Kiyosaki had warned in April that millions of Boomers could face homelessness or have to live in RVs, claiming that Social Security and Medicare are 'broke'.

'The boomers don't have enough money to get through inflation. The boomers are going to be homeless all over the place,' he had cautioned. 'So mark my words, I'm the first of the boomers. Your mommy and daddy may be on the street because inflation is going to wipe out their Social Security.'

Social Security benefits could decline significantly by 2034 amid solvency concerns if Congress does not intervene. Kiyosaki thinks hyperinflation will destroy the purchasing power of the US dollar and drive people to the streets, as most people, especially boomers, lack a financial foundation to survive a currency collapse.

He had also attributed existing homelessness to the actions of the US Federal Reserve, describing the central bank as a 'criminal organisation' responsible for price increases through the printing of 'fake money'.

The Fed's printing of fiat currency favours asset owners but makes life more difficult for the common people as they struggle with the price of essentials like eggs and yoghurt, according to the investor.

Kiyosaki Believes Unchecked Inflation Will 'Steal Your Money'

In May, Kiyosaki had warned that inflation would 'steal your money', citing rising oil prices due to the US-Iran conflict, which could lead to a decline in purchasing power. Secondly, he had cautioned that rapidly rising national debts would cause governments worldwide to print more fake money.

The annual US inflation rate was 3.40% for the 12 months ending in August 2026. Note that energy costs jumped significantly, rising 16.28% over the past year and 2.10% just in August. Oil prices have surged considerably in the past few months, with the West Texas Intermediate crude hovering over $103 per barrel on Tuesday.

Kiyosaki believes that tangible assets like gold, as well as digital assets like bitcoin, are the most reliable hedge against inflation and a currency collapse. He has consistently championed silver and Ethereum, citing their industrial and technological utility.

Although critics argue that Kiyosaki has been warning about crashes for years without any of his forecasts about a recession coming true, his latest warnings resonate with increasing economic instability worldwide.
