As silver hit record highs amid global tensions, a cryptic tweet by ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ author Robert Kiyosaki sparked debate, drawing millions into the silver price frenzy
Robert Kiyosaki believes that as the US dollar weakens and inflation rises, investing in tangible assets like silver is prudent.
Silver prices continue to rise steadily. Amid geopolitical tensions, both gold and silver opened at record highs on Monday. Silver for March delivery on MCX surged to an all-time high of Rs 263,996 per kg, rising over 4% or Rs 10,314.
Robert Kiyosaki Tweets About Silver
Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, recently tweeted about silver prices. He wrote, “Silver over $80…yay. Is it too late to buy silver? I say ‘No.’ I would buy silver up to $100… Then wait and see. Always remember: ‘Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered.’”
This tweet has sparked discussion, as Kiyosaki has consistently monitored silver prices and frequently shares his views on social media.
10-11-2026Silver over $80…..yay
Is it too late to buy silver?
I say “No.”
I would buy silver up to $100…. Then wait and see.
Always remember:
“Pigs get fat.
Hogs get slaughtered.”

In his tweet, Kiyosaki explained that silver has crossed $80, but it’s not too late to buy. He personally said he would purchase silver up to $100 and then wait to observe the market.
He referenced the saying “Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered”, meaning a little greed is acceptable, but excessive greed can lead to losses. A ‘pig’ grows fat gradually and profits safely, but a ‘hog’ consumes too much and risks disaster.
Silver’s Recent Rally
At the end of December 2025, silver prices climbed above $70, briefly touching $80. Kiyosaki has repeatedly suggested that this rally is just beginning, with potential to surpass $100 and even reach $200 by 2026.
He believes that as the US dollar weakens and inflation rises, investing in tangible assets like silver is prudent.
Why Are Silver Prices Rising?
Silver and gold have surged sharply amid fluctuations in global commodity markets. Key reasons include:
- Rising geopolitical tensions
- Strong industrial demand
- Economic uncertainty
Additionally, a US government bill imposing a 500% tariff on oil imports from Russia by BRICS countries has increased market volatility, further boosting precious metal prices.
As of January 12, 2026, silver spot prices hover around $83-$84 per ounce, a roughly 180% increase compared to last year. In India, MCX silver futures have also reached record highs.
Kiyosaki’s Advice For Investors
Kiyosaki’s guidance applies globally, including India: invest carefully, avoid greed, and do your own research. While silver still has potential for growth, he emphasises the importance of measured, informed decisions in a volatile market.
