Silver prices to hit $200 in 2026? Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki makes bold prediction

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has reiterated a bullish outlook for silver, predicting prices could climb to $200 per troy ounce by 2026. In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the financial commentator said silver has been used as money for thousands of years and has now become a key “structural metal” in the modern technology-driven economy, similar to iron during the industrial age.

Highlighting silver’s long-term transformation, Kiyosaki noted that the metal traded around $5 per ounce in 1990, compared with $92–95 per ounce today, reflecting its growing importance not just as a store of value, but also as money in the world’s economic future. While reiterating his bullish call, Kiyosaki added that his forecast could be wrong, but maintained confidence in silver’s long-term potential.

Kiyosaki has been a longstanding silver bull. He has been consistently vocal about his confidence in silver, not just as an industrial metal but also as a hedge against inflation and fiat currency debasement. On January 14, he had posted a celebratory note stating: “YAY: Silver over $90 an ounce. Are you celebrating?”


The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, who began buying silver at $1 an ounce in 1965, reiterated that despite its volatility, he remains committed to the metal’s long-term value. He cautioned against speculative selling and chasing short-term gains, famously saying: “Pigs get FAT… Hogs get SLAUGHTERED.”

The post on X comes after Spot silver eased 0.9% to $92.38 per ounce, retreating from its recent record peak of $95.87 hit on Tuesday. On the MCX, too, silver prices and ETFs tanked up to 20% after geopolitical tensions that had fueled the rally eased after U.S. President Donald Trump ruled out using military force over Greenland and signaled he would refrain from imposing tariffs on European nations after reaching the outlines of a deal with NATO on Greenland's future.

On Greenland, Trump said he had reached what he called a “concept of a deal” after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. He added that the arrangement would benefit both sides, covering cooperation on Arctic security, mineral rights, and participation in the so-called Golden Dome initiative. According to him, the framework is intended to last indefinitely.
