‘Not too late to buy,’ says Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki as silver crosses $80

Kiyosaki posted on X, “Silver over $80… yay.”Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has once again struck a bullish note on silver, even as prices surge past $80 an ounce. In a recent post on social media platform X, Kiyosaki responded to investor worries about whether the metal’s sharp rally has run out of steam.

Reacting to silver crossing $80, Answering whether it’s too late to buy silver, he replied, “No,” saying he would continue buying silver until prices hit $100 before waiting to see what comes next.

Striking a note of caution, Kiyosaki, who often speaks on hard assets, fiat currency debasement, and inflation risks, said, “Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered,” a phrase commonly used in investing to underscore the importance of disciplined profit-taking over greed-driven risk-taking.


Kiyosaki's latest comment builds on his earlier projections from late 2025, when silver had surged past the $72 per ounce level. At the time, he had called the rally “great news for gold and silver stackers,” but warned it was “bad news for fake money savers,” referring to investors relying on fiat currencies.

Expressing concerns about rising inflation and the dollar’s weakening purchasing power, he said that silver could climb to $200 per ounce by 2026. He argued that silver’s sharp upward trajectory had been driven by a combination of industrial demand, safe-haven flows, and macroeconomic instability.

Earlier in 2025, he wrote “don’t be a loser”, urging investors to consider the long-term risks of currency devaluation. At the time, he reiterated his longstanding criticism of traditional monetary policies and encouraged retail investors to hold tangible assets like gold and silver.

While silver has already delivered strong gains recently, Kiyosaki's recent remarks suggest he still sees room for further upside, at least up to the $100 mark. His consistent messaging over the years has positioned silver, alongside gold, as a key hedge against inflation and monetary volatility in his broader investment philosophy.
