Taking a somewhat unconventional approach to investing, Robert Kiyosaki, author of the finance book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” prefers investing in cryptocurrencies and commodities such as gold and silver to traditional stock market investing.
Even there, his approach differs from the traditional “buy the asset for a profit,” instead, Kiyosaki prefers to view his investments as a hedge against inflation and the losing value of the U.S. dollar.
What might surprise investors is that “Rich Dad” decides to invest directly in commodities production, such as investments in oil wells, gold, and silver mines.
In addition to commodities, Kiyosaki prefers to invest his money in cryptos such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), which he calls “real money.”
Kiyosaki’s top 5 assets
Gold holds a special place in his portfolio because it is one of his longest-standing investments, starting with the more mainstream Kiyosaki investments. According to his book, he began investing in gold as a Marine pilot in Vietnam.
Since his service in 1972, gold has appreciated from $105 per ounce to the current $2,505 valuation, notching an impressive 2,285% increase.
Kiyosaki’s investment in silver dates even longer, as he started accumulating this precious metal in 1964 when its price was $1.30 per ounce; it has increased to the current price of $29.36 per ounce, reflecting a similar increase to gold at 2,158%.
Turning to his modern investments, the legendary trader recurringly invests in Bitcoin, which he calls a hedge against the devaluation of fiat currencies and recession. He often dedicates posts on X to advising investors to purchase the flagship cryptocurrency.
His other crypto investments are in Ethereum and Solana, which significantly appreciated in the previous year, bringing notable profits to Kiyosaki, as evidenced by the calculation done by Finbold.
