Robert Kiyosaki warns: “Ten American states are about to collapse”

According to Robert Kiyosaki, a growing number of American states are in a deep crisis. The author of the world -famous book Rich Dad Pad speaks of large -scale migration, economic stress and a imminent instability that puts pressure on the foundation of the US.

Mass migration as a signal for decay

In a message on the social platform X of April 18, Kiyosaki shared his concern about what he describes as the “Top 10 states that collapse because people are leaving en masse.” The list is led by Hawaii, followed by Mississippi, New Mexico, Alaska, Nevada, West Virginia, Louisiana, New York, Illinois and California.

“Is this list good or bad news for you?” he asked his 2.7 million followers. “I sympathize with the people who live in these states.”

Responses and criticism of the claims

The message from Kiyosaki soon attracted a lot of attention: within a short time it was viewed more than 146,000 times and almost 200 reactions came in. Some users endorsed are analysis and pointed to factors such as rising crime figures, high taxes and the increasing costs of living. Others expressed criticism and asked for more substantiation of his claims.

For example, a user referred to recent population data from the American census (Census 2025), which shows that 42 states have a growing population. There was also a point of figures from the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), which shows that Hawaii attracts an average of 72,000 new residents annually. In addition, the gross domestic product of Mississippi had risen by 18.7% since 2000, according to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

Kiyosaki continues to warn of economic disaster scenarios

Despite the criticism, Kiyosaki has been known for years for its sharp economic warnings. He regularly concerns about the falling value of Fiatgeld, the rising US national debt and a possible collapse of the dollar.

To arm himself against those risks, he encourages his followers to prepare himself financially for uncertain times. His regular advice: investing in gold, silver and bitcoin – assets that he sees as reliable protection against possible system failure.

Whether his predictions will actually come true remains uncertain. But one thing is certain: the statements of Kiyosaki continue to engage in the minds and again feed the debate on the economic future of the United States.
