Summary
⚈ He warns of a major crash and remains bullish on gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
⚈ The gold-to-silver ratio above 100 may signal strong upside potential for silver.
Robert Kiyosaki, famed finance guru and author of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, revealed that he believes silver prices will “explode 2x” in price, from roughly $35 to $70 by 2026.
Along with this prediction, the personal finance educator also reiterated his longstanding bullishness on gold and Bitcoin (BTC) in a May 4 X post.
“I hope I am wrong….but as I forecasted…the biggest market crashes in stocks, bonds, and real estate….are about to happen in the very very near future. This is why I have been investing in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Silver is about to explode 2X in price…I predict from $35 today to possibly $70 by 2026.”
Silver prices have seen an 11% increase since the start of 2025. By press time on May 5, the price of the commodity had dipped to $32.34 per ounce. Accordingly, for Kiyosaki’s prediction to come true, the precious metal would have to rally by 116.45%.
Is Robert Kiyosaki’s silver prediction realistic?
While it might appear overly optimistic at first glance, the finance guru’s bullish outlook doesn’t represent a fringe opinion. Shawn Khunkhun, president and CEO of mineral exploration company Dolly Varden Silver, set a slightly lower price target of $73, although with a slightly longer timeframe that encompasses the next two years.
Moreover, on April 22, the gold-to-silver ratio reached a high of 104.74. Such large disparities have historically coincided with periods where silver has outperformed gold by a significant margin. At the time of writing, the ratio was still above 100.
