Fooligan Jobs and 4 more fastest ways to earn money in GTA Online without spending much, ranked

5) Acid Lab

The Acid Lab is one of the latest businesses in GTA Online. It is incredibly easy to set up and can help make lots of money with minimal effort. The best way of acquiring this business is by completing all The First Dose DLC missions.

This business gives access to the MTL Brickade 6x6 for free (the vehicle in which the Acid Lab is set up). Players will only need to pay $750,000 as setup cost, which is much less than other establishments in the game.

Then, they can either source supplies through missions or buy them for up to $60,000. Installing upgrades and activating the daily speed boost can help manufacture the product faster. However, players can earn over $200,000 by selling a full product batch without the upgrades.
