Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and one of the most vocal precious metals advocates in mainstream finance, posted on X Sunday reflecting on a position that predates most of his followers’ lifetimes. In 1965, at age 18, he began accumulating silver when the metal was trading for pennies per ounce. Over 60 years later, he says it is one of the best investments he has ever made.

The post comes as silver has broken above $80 per ounce, a level Kiyosaki has previously flagged as deeply significant. Bitcoin.com News reported that Kiyosaki warned the silver breakout above that threshold could foreshadow deeper currency erosion and signal the early stages of hyperinflation in the U.S. dollar, a monetary event he has been warning about for years.

His longer-term target for silver is $200 per ounce, with this conviction sitting within a broader investment framework he has been consistent about for years. His six assets of choice for 2026, gold, silver, oil, food, bitcoin, and ethereum, represent what he calls the only genuinely safe investments in an era of systemic dollar debasement.

Bitcoin has featured heavily in his recent commentary alongside silver as he has disclosed buying BTC near $67,000 and previously set a 2026 target of $250,000 per coin, framing the two assets as complementary hedges against a weakening monetary system.

A Lifelong Aversion to Fiat

The throughline in Kiyosaki’s worldview is a deep distrust of fiat currency, a conviction he has held since long before bitcoin existed. His 1965 silver purchases were driven by the same logic that led him to bitcoin in 2026, i.e., government-issued money loses purchasing power over time, and that hard, scarce assets hold value across generations.

The counterargument is straightforward: the S&P 500, with dividends reinvested over the same 61-year period, has returned roughly 400x, outpacing silver’s approximately 63x price gain by a significant margin.

Still, for those who share his macro view, a 60-year track record of silver stacking makes for a compelling case study. “What do you see happening in the future?” Kiyosaki asked his followers on Sunday. “What can you invest in?”
