Robert Kiyosaki , a billionaire by debt and author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘ Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ is well known for making bold and frequently provocative predictions on his social media pages and most commonly on Elon Musk’s X. In 2024, some of his longest-standing – if frequently vague – predictions came true, providing many of Kiyosaki’s followers with stellar returns on long positions involving Bitcoin (BTC) and gold . On the flip side, the author’s other prediction didn’t fair half as well, as evidenced by the fact the U.S. equity markets are near their all-time highs, and the American dollar is still worth somewhat more than the paper it is printed on. Perhaps spurred on by his successes in 2024 – or at least undeterred by his misses – Robert Kiyosaki has been publishing an increasing number of predictions for 2025, and with the new year just one week old, FInbold decided to examine ‘ Rich Dad’s ’ top 3 forecasts. Bitcoin could hit $350,000 Following his tradition of making bold and bullish forecasts for how high ‘people’s money’ Bitcoin can go, Robert Kiyosaki revised his price target for the cryptocurrency very early in 2025. Specifically, the author estimated that BTC is likely to climb to a relatively wide range between $175,000 and $350,000 before 2026 begins. Interestingly, the latest prediction can be seen as both a downgrade and an upgrade. MY PRICE PREDICTION for BITCOIN 2025: $175,000 to $350,000 Happy New Year — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) January 2, 2025 Previously, Kiyosaki opined Bitcoin could climb to $250,000 before upgrading the target to $350,000 and then casting some doubt on the forecast with the latest, $175,000 wide range. ‘Giant market crash’ is already here For years, the famous investor has been predicting that only doom and gloom awaits the American – and, by extension, the world – economy, variously opining that the U.S. dollar, bonds , and even stocks are going to experience a historic plunge . Kiyosaki’s late 2024 and early 2025 X posts appear to indicate he believes the crash has already started. GIANT MARKET CRASH here. Q: How can I be so bullish on gold, silver, and Bitcoin? A: Because the idiots running the Fed, Treasury, Banks, and Wall Strret only know how to print money, which makes things worse. FYI: When fake money is printed the rich, who own real assets get… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) January 3, 2025 The forecast is interesting as it arguably falls into the ‘even a stopped clock is right twice a day’ category. The author has been forecasting a recession for so long that unless the paradigm of capitalism is radically changed, he will eventually be right. The proclamation is even more interesting once the fact that the stock market is near its all-time highs is paired with the fact that many consider the current levels of wealth and equity concentration, rates of debt defaults, size of the U.S. national debt, and the cost-of-living crisis a crisis in its own right. ‘President Trump will make the world great and safe again’ Though not strictly a market prediction, Kiyosaki’s statement that ‘President Trump will make the world great and safe again’ is certainly a financial forecast . Indeed, along with expressing enthusiasm upon the Republican reelection, the famous author explained that he expects competent people to finally regain command of America’s economy, presumably leading to a boom.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AND SAFE AGAIN GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP Please keep him strong and safe — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) December 29, 2024 It remains uncertain how the prediction that the world will become great and safe again, with a competently run economy, is compatible with the proclamation that a ‘giant market crash’ is either already here or will begin shortly. It is also uncertain how Kiyosaki is reconciling the fact that the Republicans were in power for about 50% of the 21st century and Trump 16.67%, with the hopes that this will begin improving in earnest in the coming four years.
