Robert Kiyosaki, a known investor and author of the best-selling finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has made another bold silver price prediction for the end of 2026.
In a January 22 post on X, Kiyosaki said that precious metals have served as money for thousands of years, and that silver now plays a role similar to iron during the Industrial Age.
The writer further noted the metal’s long-term price appreciation, reminding his followers that prices, which hovered around $92 per ounce when the post was made, sat at just $5 per ounce in 1990.
According to him, the rally reflects silver’s increasing importance not only as an industrial input, but also as a store of value and an alternative form of money.
WHY SILVER is SUPERIOR
— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) January 22, 2026
Gold and silver have been money for thousands of years.
But…in today’s Technology Age….silver is elevated into an economic structural metal…. much like iron was the structural metal of
the Industrial Age.
In 1990…silver was approximately
$ 5.00 an…
“In 1990…silver was approximately $5.00 an ounce. Today, in 2026….silver is $92 an ounce and growing more vital as the structural metal of the world’s economic future….a store of value….and as money,” Kiyosaki wrote.
Robert Kiyosaki’s 2026 Silver price prediction
Based on these dynamics, Kiyosaki predicts that silver could reach $200 per ounce in 2026.
“I am still calling for silver to hit $200 an ounce in 2026.”
However, he also acknowledged that the projection is not guaranteed, saying that he could be wrong.
Wrong or not, the forecast does have a lot to commend it. Namely, silver has delivered gains of roughly 30% in less than three weeks. Some key drivers behind the rally include global central banks cutting interest rates and persistent geopolitical uncertainty underpinning demand.
The third factor is more structural. That is, silver is increasingly being viewed as a “green metal,” with demand expanding well beyond its traditional monetary role as its conductivity potential has made it a critical input in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and semiconductors.
Still, Kiyosaki is also right to be cautious, as a shift in interest rate expectations, easing geopolitical tensions, or a cooling of speculative activity could trigger sharp pullbacks.
