Finance author and Rich Dad Poor Dad creator Robert Kiyosaki voiced strong support for President Donald Trump’s new 401(k) initiative, which allows retirement accounts to include alternative investments such as real estate debt, gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In a post on X, Kiyosaki said he and President Trump “wrote two books together for many reasons,” one being their shared belief that traditional markets, controlled by “rich investment bankers”, exploit the working class through conventional 401(k) systems. “Even Warren Buffett has been admitting Baby Boomers are getting screwed,” Kiyosaki wrote, warning that inflation could wipe out the purchasing power of retirement savings.

He applauded President Trump for “bringing peace to the Middle East” and “leveling the playing field” for ordinary investors by expanding access to alternative assets. According to Kiyosaki, this move helps both employees and entrepreneurs build wealth through diverse asset ownership rather than dependence on Wall Street–linked mutual funds and ETFs.
“I have never had a 401(k), much less a mutual fund,” Kiyosaki said. “I invest from the business and investor side of the cashflow quadrant. Trump and Musk and I operate differently — we have more, different, and better assets.”
Kiyosaki encouraged Americans to educate themselves on alternative investments, adding that thinking independently about money and asset allocation is the true path to long-term wealth. “Time to get smarter,” he wrote. “Thank you, President Trump, for giving more people a fair chance to get richer.”
