Kiyosaki Renews Dollar Warning as Inflation Fears Rise
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued renewed warnings about the weakening U.S. dollar and the growing economic pressures he believes Americans must prepare for. His book has been an international best seller for decades, translated into dozens of languages and shaping how millions around the world think about money, debt, and financial independence.
Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X last week: “Bye bye U.S. dollar!!!!!” He warned followers:
My forecast is savers of U.S. dollars biggest losers. If you own U.S. dollars… hyperinflation may wipe you out. I stand by my mantra, own gold, silver, bitcoin, and ether. Take care, stay alert.
In the same post, the famous author also conveyed his belief that BRICS nations are developing a gold-backed currency called the “UNIT,” a claim reported by several media outlets but not confirmed by any official announcement. BRICS nations include Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Indonesia. Kiyosaki’s message remained centered on what he sees as accelerating inflation and the declining purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.
The renowned author also cited UBS data indicating an increase in global billionaires, noting that about 2,900 individuals now control $15.8 trillion, up from 2,700 controlling $14 trillion in 2024. He added that he is not among the older or newer billionaires, saying he built his wealth through “ultra-low tech” ventures such as books and games produced with long-established printing technology, and that he saves his money in physical gold and silver. He emphasized that, in his experience, wealth is not determined by new or old technology but by durable financial principles that withstand economic upheaval.
Kiyosaki has consistently warned that fiat currencies—especially the U.S. dollar—are losing strength as inflation erodes purchasing power. Whether or not any new global currency emerges, Kiyosaki maintains that individuals should protect themselves with gold, silver, bitcoin, and ether—assets he believes will remain resilient as traditional currencies continue to weaken.
