Looking to get rich quick in GTA 5 Story Mode? Whether you’re saving up for luxury cars or real estate, there are several proven ways to make money fast – without cheats or glitches. Here’s how you can build your in-game fortune legally (or not so legally).
1. Complete Lester’s Assassination Missions (After the Story)
One of the best ways to make millions is by manipulating the stock market through Lester’s assassination missions. Be sure to finish the main story before doing them so you can invest with all three characters and maximize profits.
Recommended Investment Strategy
- The Hotel Assassination: Invest in Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET)
- The Multi Target Assassination: Invest in Debonaire (DEB)
- The Vice Assassination: Invest in Fruit (FRT)
2. Rob Armored Vans & ATMs
As you explore Los Santos, you’ll find armored vans scattered around. Robbing them is a quick way to get $3,000–$8,000 per van. Also, keep an eye out for people using ATMs – some of them are easy targets.
3. Complete Random Events
Some random events can score you quick cash. For example, returning a stolen wallet can give you a nice reward—or if you kill the thief and keep the money, even more. Priorities!
4. Buy Properties with Weekly Payouts
Investing in properties gives you passive income. While some are expensive, they’re worth it in the long run. McKenzie Airfield, for example, generates around $5,000 per in-game week.
5. Replaying Heists
Heists like “The Big Score” can be replayed for big money. Choose the smart approach, hire the best crew members, and keep as much cash as possible for yourself and the crew.
Tips for Saving Money
- Don’t buy unnecessary clothes or cars early in the game.
- Use autosaves to retry missions with better earnings.
- Watch the stock market daily after investments.
With these methods, you’ll be rolling in GTA cash in no time. Whether you’re looking to buy every car in the game or take over Los Santos real estate, now you know how!
