Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Great Depression and Market Crash

Author Robert Kiyosaki warns that uncontrolled national debt and an everything bubble could trigger a 1929-style market crash and a new Great Depression.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, warns that the United States is facing a potential market crash similar to 1929, which could lead to another Great Depression. He attributes this risk to an everything bubble and a national debt that has reached approximately $39.6 trillion.

Kiyosaki urges investors with 401(k) and IRA accounts to pivot away from traditional stocks and bonds. He recommends shifting assets into gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and income-producing real estate to protect against the projected downturn.

While the S&P 500 reached record highs in 2026, Kiyosaki points to the actions of other investors as evidence of risk. Investor Jim Rogers stated he sold all his U.S. stocks. Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway has been a net seller of equities for 14 quarters, although it continues to hold hundreds of billions of dollars in equity securities.
