Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has never been shy about making bold predictions. On Jan. 26, he took to X to double down on what he's been warning about for years: a massive stock market crash. This time, though, he's naming a specific date – February 2025 – as the tipping point for what he calls "the biggest stock market crash in history."
In his post, Kiyosaki referenced his 2013 book, Rich Dad's Prophecy, where he claimed this crash was inevitable. But it's not just doom and gloom from him. Kiyosaki argues that market crashes create opportunities for those prepared, saying everything from cars to houses will "go on sale." He wrote, "Good news because in a crash everything goes on sale. Cars and houses on sale now."

Even more interestingly, he predicts that billions will leave traditional investments like stocks and bonds, flowing into assets like Bitcoin, gold and silver. He advises people to "get out of fake and into real," emphasizing that even owning a single Satoshi could be enough to secure wealth in the chaos.
But Kiyosaki isn't alone in predicting trouble.
Goldman Sachs analysts also warn of a significant market correction, estimating a potential 30% drop in 2025. Their concerns stem from high valuations and ongoing economic uncertainty. Economist Harry Dent is on a similar page, pointing to America's growing private debt as a time bomb waiting to go off. Dent has even said the bubble could burst as early as mid-2025.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Grantham, a veteran investor known for spotting financial bubbles, is predicting a "cataclysmic decline" in the stock market. He attributes this to overvaluation, demographic shifts like declining population growth, and global challenges such as climate change.
With heavyweights like Kiyosaki, Goldman Sachs, Dent and Grantham all predicting a downturn, the message is clear: prepare now. While the specifics of these warnings differ, they all share a common theme – markets are fragile, and significant challenges are ahead.
For the average investor, this means reassessing your financial strategy. Diversification becomes even more critical in uncertain times. Kiyosaki suggests moving from traditional "fake" assets like stocks and bonds into alternatives like cryptocurrency, gold and silver. While his Bitcoin predictions of "boom, boom, boom" may seem extreme, crypto has historically performed well during periods of economic uncertainty.

Experts recommend having a clear plan for market volatility. Building emergency savings, paying down debt, and diversifying your investments are key steps to weather a potential storm.
No one can predict the future with absolute certainty, but financial experts' growing chorus of warnings is hard to ignore. Whether or not February 2025 brings the "biggest crash in history," it's a good time to evaluate your financial health and make adjustments if needed. After all, as Kiyosaki often reminds us, in every crash lies an opportunity – if you're prepared for it.
