Robert Kiyosaki has once again sounded a warning on markets, cautioning that a major crash — possibly akin to a “Great Depression” — could unfold around 2026-27. In a post on X, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author framed the coming downturn as a defining moment for investors, asking whether they would come out “messed up” or “lucked up.”
IN THIS COMING CRASh possibly a Grest Drpression…. Will you be “FU'CD UP or LU'CD UP.”

So far….in the crashes of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019, 2022 I got richer not poorer.
And again in coming giant crash of 2026-27….I plan on growing richer not poorer.
I wish the same for…
Kiyosaki pointed to previous market downturns — including 1987, 2000, 2008, and more recent corrections — to underline his long-standing view that volatility creates opportunity.
According to him, these periods helped him build wealth rather than lose it, reinforcing his belief that downturns are less about destruction and more about redistribution — from unprepared investors to those willing to act.
Buy Assets When They're On Sale?
At the core of Kiyosaki's message is a familiar principle: market crashes put quality assets on discount. He urged investors to use downturns to accumulate assets at lower valuations, rather than retreat in fear. The emphasis, as always, is on preparation — having liquidity, conviction, and a long-term mindset when markets correct sharply.
While Kiyosaki's views resonate with seasoned investors who see downturns as entry points, his warnings also come with a note of caution. Predicting exact timelines for crashes remains difficult, and aggressive positioning without adequate risk management can backfire.
Still, his core takeaway remains unchanged: market cycles are inevitable, but outcomes depend on how investors respond. Beyond the dramatic phrasing, Kiyosaki's post taps into a broader investing truth — that wealth is often created during periods of uncertainty.
