Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again sparked an online discussion and debate with his latest viral post , "Top 10 States that are collapsing because people are leaving." Hawaii is at the top of the list, followed by other states like Mississippi, New Mexico, and Alaska , as well as population centers like New York and California.
Kiyosaki's tweet garnered over 100,000 views within hours and concluded with the sympathetic comment, "I feel for the people living in these states."
While the discussion may devolve into debates about the legitimacy of calling a state "collapsing" or what that even means, Kiyosaki's new post , like past posts, fits the narrative of his decades-long warnings about collapsing economies.
CreditFastTrack pushed back against the narrative: "People don't leave home for no reason… It's about real people being failed by their leaders." The post clarified that high costs, bad policies, and lack of opportunities—not collapse—motivate migration.
Meanwhile, an X user named Shanaka Anslem Perera called Kiyosaki out directly, pointing to 2025 Census figures showing population growth in 42 states and the 72,000 people moving to Hawaii yearly. "Migration's real, but 'collapse' is wild," he wrote, challenging Kiyosaki to back his claims.
Kiyosaki has been promoting non-traditional assets, and among them, the most impressive asset he has advised on is Bitcoin . On April 13, Kiyosaki posted , "PLEASE LISTEN to Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin. What are they telling you?"
Gold is at an all-time high, demand for silver is exploding, and Bitcoin is roaring," showing strong support for the digital asset.
While it is not sure whether he is hinting at the U.S. tariff trade war, the post aligns with his long-held views on economic instability.
