Financial educator and investor Robert Kiyosaki has suggested that investors with $100 can consider precious metals as ideal investments.
According to the Rich Dad Poor Dad author, if he had just $100 to invest, he would put it into silver coins. He argued that silver has been manipulated for years but is “about to explode,” predicting that $100 invested today could become $500 within a year, he said in an X post on September 28.
Kiyosaki added that he is personally buying more immediately, urging others not to miss what he views as a rare opportunity.
His comments come at a time when silver is already enjoying one of its strongest years in more than a decade.
Silver’s impressive 2025 run
The metal began 2025 trading at around $28.92 per ounce and by late September had surged past $46, marking a gain of over 55% year to date. Over the past six weeks alone, silver has rallied nearly 19%, outpacing gold and logging one of the most powerful short-term runs in recent memory.
The rally has been fueled by a mix of industrial and macroeconomic factors. In this case, demand for silver in electronics and renewable energy, particularly solar panels, continues to climb, while supply has remained tight.
To this end, HSBC projects a deficit of more than 200 million ounces in 2025, adding further pressure to prices. On the macro side, a weaker U.S. dollar and expectations of additional Federal Reserve rate cuts have boosted demand for non-yielding assets like silver.
At the same time, geopolitical risks have reinforced its appeal as a safe haven. Gold’s strong performance has also pulled silver higher, with silver often delivering amplified gains.
Notably, silver ranks among the assets Kiyosaki has recommended for long-term investment, highlighting its value for wealth protection as he predicts an upcoming market crash.
Besides the white metal, the investor has pointed to Bitcoin and gold as assets worth considering for the long term.
