Rich Dad Author Says Nostradamus Predicted a 2026 Market Crash. He's Also Been Predicting "The Biggest Crash in History" Since 2013. The S&P 500 Is Up 284% Since Then.

"My warning was influenced by predictions often attributed to futurists Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce, who I claimed had foreseen a global economic disruption around 2026."

— Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Poor Dad author

What Actually Happened

Robert Kiyosaki has made predicting imminent market crashes his entire personality. In 2013, he published "Rich Dad's Prophecy" warning of "the biggest crash in history." It didn't happen. In 2015, he predicted a 2016 crash. The S&P rose 9.5%. In 2017, he called for a real estate crash. Prices kept climbing. In April 2020, he said the COVID crash was "just beginning." The S&P then rallied 53%. In 2021, he predicted an October crash. It didn't come. In 2022, an "everything crash." Markets rose 17%. In August 2024, he declared "the crash has arrived." The S&P proceeded to gain 15%. Now in 2026, having exhausted every rational-sounding argument, he's turned to a 16th-century French astrologer and a Depression-era psychic for market guidance. Nostradamus also predicted flying fish-people and a three-eyed lion king. The S&P 500 closed March 27, 2026 at 5,693 - up 284% from when Kiyosaki first warned us about the "biggest crash in history." At some point, even a broken clock stops being impressive.
