Robert Kiyosaki, author of the world’s bestseller book *Rich Dad Poor Dad*, has once again expressed concern about the global financial market. He warned that a major economic crisis or market crash could occur between 2026 and 2027. In a post shared on social media platform He cited rising global debt, massive currency printing by central banks, and uncertainty in stock markets as the main reasons behind this apprehension. According to him, all these factors are gradually putting pressure on every asset class. These forces could ultimately lead to a sharp downturn in global financial markets.
Warning about the ‘Giant Crash’ and the plight of investors
In his Referring to past market crashes—specifically those of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019, and 2022—he said that in all these periods, he himself did not become “poorer” but became “richer.” Kiyosaki further said that he intends to adopt the same strategy during a possible crash of 2026–27, and his aim will be to “get richer, not poorer”.
‘Good assets become cheap during crashes’
Reiterating his earlier thinking, Kiyosaki said that the prices of good quality assets often fall very low during financial crises. This gives investors an opportunity to buy them at very cheap prices. He stressed that his consistent strategy has been to accumulate assets during recessions, market crashes and economic crises, so that in the long run, the benefits of the recovery cycles that follow can be derived from them.
His approach to investing has always been the same
Kiyosaki has long believed that economic recession should not be seen as a cause for fear, but as an opportunity. According to him, investing at the right time and buying property can give very good returns in the long run.
