Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has reiterated his bullish stance on gold prices.

His latest target suggests a potential rise to $27,000 per ounce, although he did not specify a timeline for this prediction.

The prediction comes as gold prices crossed the $5,000 mark for the first time ever today.

Despite the recent surge in gold prices, Kiyosaki isn't worried about its high levels.

He had previously said that he would keep investing in crypto and precious metals at current levels.

Gold prices hit record high amid geopolitical risks
Dynamics

Gold prices today hit a new high, crossing the $5,000 mark for the first time.

The increase is largely due to geopolitical risks fueling safe-haven demand and a weak US dollar making the precious metal more appealing for buyers of other currencies.

Investor sentiment toward US assets has been affected by erratic decision-making from the Donald Trump administration.

Last week, Goldman Sachs raised its gold price target to $5,400 per ounce, while Chris Wood of Jefferies projected long-term targets as high as $6,600 per ounce.
