If you invested $1,000 at the start of 2026 in a Robert Kiyosaki portfolio, you’d now have this much
While Robert Kiyosaki is, due to a variety of reasons, an undoubtedly contentious figure, investing in his most favored assets would have led to a rather successful portfolio in recent years.
Indeed, the writer of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ has generally been favorable toward two top cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) – and two major commodities – Gold and Silver – for many years, and the first half of the 2020s has been a decisive bull market for three out of the four.
In 2026, however, the assets that might find themselves in a ‘Robert Kiyosaki portfolio’ have entered a downtrend and, by press time on June 30, it is uncertain if they are in a consolidation phase before the next rally or something more akin to a bear market.

Specifically, Bitcoin started the year changing hands at $87,500 and has fallen 32.47% to $59,087 since. Under the circumstances, buying $1,000 worth of BTC on New Year’s Day would have led to a position worth $675.30 – a $324.70 loss.

Ethereum did not fare much better, as it fell 47.53% from $3,000 to $1,574. Therefore, investing $1,000 in the digital assets would have seen the portfolio nearly halved to $524.70.

Simultaneously, while the two commodities started 2026 on a strong uptrend that took both to new highs, trading has been less favorable since.
Gold is, at its press time price of $4,033, down 6.73% year-to-date, meaning a $1,000 position on January 2 would have turned into $932.70 by June 29.
