The first few hours
Don't buy a supercar right away. Your first earnings should go toward a garage and one business, or you'll keep getting stuck grinding low-payout missions.
The Cayo Perico Heist
The island heist can be completed solo in about an hour and remains the most consistent activity for time invested versus payout. After the first setup run, repeat attempts go much faster.
Passive income
A nightclub accumulates product while you handle other business. Pairing a nightclub with underground businesses turns the game into a nearly automatic money machine.
- Buy a nightclub and hire technicians.
- Link it to businesses you already own.
- Sell your product in invite-only sessions to avoid getting raided.
What to avoid
Any 'money generator,' mod menu, or gift from a stranger will get you banned. Accounts with real-money purchases usually can't be restored afterward.
