$35,000 per Ounce? Kiyosaki's Radical Gold Forecast and the Giga-Crash 2026
Robert Kiyosaki is known for his clear words. When the bestselling author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” shares his assessments with over 2.4 million followers, it regularly sparks discussion – far beyond the precious metals community. However, his latest announcement is remarkable even by his standards: it is the uncompromising warning of a man who has been warning about the structural weaknesses of the fiat money system for nearly three decades.
His latest forecast has the force of a tectonic earthquake: an ounce of gold is expected to climb to $35,000, silver to $200. While critics once again dismiss him as a “crash prophet,” more and more investors see a bitter warning signal in his words. At a time when gold is already trading at around $4,700, these astronomical targets suddenly sound like a radical but logical consequence of global debt policy.
From Ridiculed Warner to Sought-After Prophet
Just a few years ago, Kiyosaki would have been laughed at for such figures. But the tide has turned. The current gold price reflects deep uncertainty. Kiyosaki does not expect a gentle bull market, but rather the “Giga-Crash 2026/27” – a systemic break that could lead to a new “Great Depression,” analogous to the 1930s.
His argument: In a world where fiat currencies are devalued through uncontrolled printing, a massive revaluation of real, scarce goods inevitably takes place.
The Debt Avalanche: A Global Phenomenon
- USA: National debt has broken the $39 trillion mark. The interest burden is beginning to literally eat up the budget.
- Germany: Under the Merz government, a debt-financed 500-billion-euro special fund was established. Despite election promises, the mountain of debt is growing, while the IW forecasts inflation of up to 4.6 percent.
For savers, this means a creeping expropriation. While the balance in the account remains nominally the same, the real purchasing power melts away relentlessly.
The Strategy of the “Rich Dad”: Winners in the Crash
Kiyosaki emphasizes repeatedly: “I plan to get richer, not poorer.” He points out that he has emerged as a winner from every major crash – 1987, 2000, 2008 and 2022. His secret? When the market collapses, prime assets are offered at “bargain prices.”
His favorites for wealth protection:
- Physical Gold & Silver: The ultimate, non-state stores of value.
- Bitcoin: The “people's money,” which eludes the reach of central banks.
- Real Assets: Real estate and companies that generate direct cash flow (e.g., his Wagyu cattle farm).
Conclusion: Substance instead of Promises
Whether gold ultimately lands exactly at $35,000 is secondary. The direction is what matters. Adding precious metals to a portfolio today is less a speculative bet and more an act of reason. It is the insurance against the erosion of paper money and the fiscal uncertainties of the political class.
Stay farsighted
Yours, Nils Gregeren
