Silver soars to $82, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki asks if it’s time to brace for a bubble burst

Silver prices continued their blistering rally on Monday, surging to historic levels both internationally and in the domestic market. The white metal crossed the $82-per-ounce mark for the first time globally, while silver futures in India breached the Rs 2.50 lakh per kilogram mark.

The sharp uptrend has shifted investor focus squarely towards silver, with prominent market voices such as Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki weighing in on the rally, raising questions over whether a bubble may be forming.

This extraordinary rise has sparked debate among market watchers, particularly as silver continues to outperform many other commodities. The sharp movement is being closely tracked by traders, especially those with exposure to both base and precious metals.


With price momentum showing no clear signs of cooling, discussions around the sustainability of the rally have begun gaining traction.

Against this backdrop, Robert Kiyosaki shared his views in a post on X (formerly Twitter). In his message, Kiyosaki asked, “SILVER BUBBLE ABOUT to BURST?”

He noted that while he has been a long-time supporter of silver, having bought his first silver in 1965, the current surge may be driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) and warned of a potential correction.

Kiyosaki advised investors to remain cautious, stating, “If you are planning on investing in silver be patient. Wait for a crash then GO or NO.”


Despite the cautionary note, he maintained a long-term bullish outlook on the metal, saying he believes silver could cross $100 an ounce in 2026 and may even touch $200.

He concluded by reiterating a key investing principle from his “Rich Dad” philosophy: “Your profit is made when you buy… NOT when you sell.”
