Economic downturns are inevitable from time to time. Whether it’s a minor dip in the stock market or something as significant as 2008’s Great Recession, we all need to be financially prepared for whatever lies ahead. However, whatever’s coming next might be big, perhaps as big as the Great Depression.
In a recent post on X, financial expert and “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki predicted the next “Greater Depression” in 2025:
“In 2014 I published RD’s Prophecy predicting the biggest stock market crash in history. Unfortunately that ‘prophecy’ is coming true, in 2025. Markets are crashing and my concern is the world may be entering into another ‘Greater Depression,'” said Kiyosaki.
Under the new administration, The Wall Street Journal reported that the S&P 500 recently saw its biggest drop in years, down more than 10% from its February 19, 2025, record high. This drop can likely be attributed to Trump’s threat of upcoming tariffs on foreign nations.
No matter the exact reason, economic uncertainty may lie ahead and you’ll need to be prepared. This includes figuring out how to grow your wealth at the same time.
Here are two important ways to leverage an economic downturn to get rich, according to Kiyosaki.
Invest in Gold, Silver and Bitcoin
Kiyosaki is a proponent of investing in precious metals like gold and silver as well as cryptocurrency like bitcoin (BTC) ahead of an expected economic downturn.
“For years I have [advised] people to do what I do …. which is buy gold, silver and bitcoin,” said Kiyosaki.
Here are the current prices of gold, silver and bitcoin to prove his point:
According to APMEX, the price of gold is reaching an all-time high. The current price per 1 troy ounce of gold is around $3,013.40. This figure represents about a 13.7% increase from just three months ago and a giant 43.5% increase from just one year ago.
APMEX also reported that the price per 1 troy ounce of silver is around $33.96. This figure represents about a 10.7% increase from just three months ago and a significant 45.1% increase from just one year ago.
