In this YouTube monologue, Mike Milligan outlines Robert Kiyosaki’s long‑standing narrative of an imminent global financial collapse. Milligan notes that for over a decade Kiyosaki has repeatedly warned followers to buy gold, silver and Bitcoin, to exit traditional equity markets, and to avoid holding cash. He points out that Kiyosaki’s predictions appear monthly, often tied to current events such as the Iran‑Ukraine war, creating a dense “scoreboard” of crash forecasts. The segment culminates with a striking 2024 Instagram post where Kiyosaki disclosed that he personally carries over $1.2 billion in debt, underscoring a paradox between his public advice and personal financial exposure.

Today's personality is Robert Kiyosaki. That's him, Rich Dad Poor Dad, one of the best-selling personal finance books of all time. For more than a decade, Kiyosaki has been on the record predicting an imminent, imminent apocalyptic global financial collapse. He has told his followers to buy gold, buy silver, buy Bitcoin, get out of the traditional stock market, and don't hold cash. If you follow him on Facebook, you'll know what I mean. Recently, he's been doing a day-by-day analysis of the Iran war. You search his name in any given month over the last 10 years, and you will find a new prediction of a crash. Here's the twist: in early 2024, on his own Instagram account, Kiyosaki publicly stated that he personally carries more than 1.2 billion—that's with a B—in debt.
