American businessman and author Robert Kiyosaki turned his back on investing in gold or Bitcoin while predicting that silver was on its way to becoming the next big thing this year. On Sunday (US time), the ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad‘ writer who offers tips on personal finance through books, videos and even his social media posts claimed that silver has long been manipulated. However, September 2025 was beckoning a new era for it altogether as silver could flip investors’ $100 into $500 in a year.

Robert Kiyosaki’s big silver prediction

Answering a major question on personal investments, Kiyosaki wrote on X, “If I had $100 what would I invest in? I would buy more silver coins.”

He then went on to say that silver was about to explode in September 2025, adding, “I predict you $100 in silver will be $500 in a year.” In a bid to present his case to his followers, the ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author affirmed that he was going to buy even more of it the following day.

Rich Dad Poor Dad’s take on silver over the years

The best-selling author’s departure from his long-standing affinity for bitcoin instantly sparked a sharp discussion on the matter on social media. A user particularly mapped out the Kiyosaki’s views on silver, gold and bitcoin over the years by sharing several screenshots of his past tweets addressing the issue.

As per a 2023 post on X, he warned his followers of a “giant crash” and potential depression. “Fed forced to print billions in fake money. By 2025 gold at $5,000 silver at $500 and Bitcoin at $500,000. Why? Because faith US dollar, fake money, will be destroyed. Gold & Silver Gods money. Bitcoin people’s $,” he wrote at the time.

A year prior, he tweeted, “END is HERE. Called Jerry Williams my trusted gold and silver deals. He said ‘I can’t get gold or silver coins. The mint will not sell me anymore.’ To me this means the end of FAKE $ is here. As stated in earlier tweet silver going to $100 to $500. Get some. Protect your self.”

In addition to that, Kiyosaki predicted silver as the “biggest investment for decade” five years ago. “Started recommending US silver eagles at $10. Today $30. Everyone can still afford. Predict $50 next stop. Then $100 possibly $200. I feel for poor people yet poor people do not invest. Many want to be given money which keeps them poor. Sad,” he said.

Noting his repeatedly resurfaced claims on silver, someone in the comments said, “You’ve been saying the same for the last 20 years.” Another user relied on Grok to check on Kiyosaki’s “mixed track record” for predictions like this.

Citing US News, MoneyTalksNews and Nasdaq as sources, the AI bot on X noted some “inaccurate” predictions over the years.

“Predicted major stock market crash in 2016; S&P 500 rose 9.5%. – Forecast real estate crash in 2017; home prices increased. – Warned of “everything crash” in 2022; markets grew instead,” Elon Musk’s chatbot replied to a curious netizen.

On the other hand, its pointed some of his “accurate” predictions as being:

“In 2002 book “Rich Dad’s Prophecy,” he foresaw the 2008 financial crisis due to issues with 401(k)s and mutual funds. – Advocated early for Bitcoin; it surged from under $1,000 in 2017 to over $60,000 by 2021.”
