If you have just been introduced to the CEO features and do not know how to utilize them, this GTA Online CEO guide will help you understand the role and the ways to make money from it. Rockstar Games introduced this feature in Grand Theft Auto 5's multiplayer version in December 2015. Since then, it has become one of the most important parts of the gameplay and is needed to access a few essential features.
This CEO GTA Online guide will teach you how to become a CEO in 2024 and properly use the businesses and errands associated with the position.
Note: Some parts of this GTA Online CEO guide are subjective and only reflect the writer’s opinions.
GTA Online CEO guide: How to become a CEO in 2024
To become a CEO or an Executive, you must own an Executive Office in the multiplayer game. Rockstar Games offers four Executive Office locations listed on the Dynasty 8 Executive website, and you can acquire any one of them. They are as follows:
Trending
- Maze Bank West CEO Office: $1,000,000
- Arcadius Business Center CEO Office: $2,250,000
- Lombank West CEO Office: $2,250,000
- Maze Bank Tower CEO Office: $4,000,000
It is worth noting that you can get the Maze Bank West CEO Office free of cost if you have the Criminal Enterprises Starter Pack in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. Rockstar Games released the Criminal Enterprises Starter Pack only for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One players.
While Maze Bank West is the cheapest/most affordable CEO Office, experienced players often love to acquire the Maze Bank Tower CEO Office, the tallest building on the entire map. However, considering most of the GTA Online CEO guide readers are new players, they should stick to the option best suited for their budget.
Once you have purchased the property, visit the CEO Office to complete the introductory cutscene. After that, you can become an Executive whenever you want.
How to register as a CEO in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online
While owning an Executive Office unlocks the ability to become a CEO, you must register for the position each time you log into the game to avail the facilities. There are two primary ways you can register as an Executive:
Using the CEO Office computer
- Go inside the Executive Office.
- Head towards the Office computer.
- Sit on the chair.
- Press the required prompt to log into the computer.
- Once logged in, you will become a CEO in the game.
Using the Interaction menu
- Open the Interaction menu.
- Select Register as a Boss.
- Click on SecuroServ.
- Select Register as a CEO.
It is worth noting that if you play Grand Theft Auto 5 Online with friends or in a public lobby, then only up to 10 players can be individual CEOs at the same time. If you are the 11th player trying to register as an Executive, the game will not allow you to do so. The same also applies to registering as an MC Club President.
Money-making sources of a CEO in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online
Now that you have become a full-fledged CEO, it is time to explore the money-making options in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. You can access the following three jobs from their Executive offices:
- Special Cargo
- Vehicle Cargo
- Special Vehicle Work
Additionally, Rockstar Games offers CEO Work missions that you can do in your free time:
- Asset Recovery (Solo)
- Executive Deathmatch (Group)
- Executive Search (Group)
- Hostile Takeover (Solo)
- Piracy Prevention (Group + Must own a Yacht)
- Sightseer (Solo)
- Headhunter (Solo)
- Airfreight (Solo)
- Haulage (Group)
- Plowed (Solo)
- Fully Loaded (Solo)
- Amphibious Assault (Group)
- Transporter (Solo)
- Fortified (Solo)
- Velocity (Solo)
- Ramped Up (Group)
- Stockpiling (Solo)
Do note that the missions labeled as ‘Group’ require two or more players under your organization, whereas the missions labeled as ‘Solo’ can be played alone or with friends.
Since the missions from the Executive Office are more important and make the most money, we will discuss them in this article.
How to make money through the CEO Office Special Cargo business
The Special Cargo Warehouse is one of the active businesses in the popular multiplayer game that you should own to make money. When you log into your Executive Office computer for the first time, the Office Assistant will advise you to invest in a Special Cargo Warehouse.
Rockstar Games offers 22 Special Cargo Warehouses divided into the following three categories:
Small Warehouses
- Convenience Store Lockup - $250,000
- Celltowa Unit - $318,000
- White Widow Garage - $360,000
- Pacific Bait Storage - $376,000
- Pier 400 Utility Building - $392,000
- Foreclosed Garage - $400,000
Medium Warehouse
- GEE Warehouse - $880,000
- Derriere Lingerie Backlot - $902,000
- Fridgit Annexe - $925,000
- Discount Retail Unit - $948,000
- Disused Factory Outlet - $971,000
- LS Marine Building 3 - $994,000
- Old Power Station - $1,000,000
- Railyard Warehouse - $1,017,000
Large Warehouse
- Wholesale Furniture - $1,900,000
- West Vinewood Backlot - $2,135,000
- Xero Gas Factory - $2,365,000
- Logistics Depot - $2,600,000
- Bilgeco Warehouse - $2,825,000
- Walker & Sons Warehouse - $3,040,000
- Cypress Warehouses - $3,265,000
- Darnell Bros Warehouse - $3,500,000
You should note that the small warehouses can store up to 16 Special Cargo crates. The Medium and Large warehouses can store up to 42 and 111 Special Cargo crates, respectively. Since your goal is to make the most out of the CEO business, you must invest in any of the small or large warehouses.
You can own up to five different Special Cargo Warehouses at the same time. While the small cargo warehouses fill faster and are best to grind frequently, the large cargo warehouses generate the most money when filled. The medium cargo warehouses are not worth the time and money. Therefore, we advise you not to invest in them.
Once purchased, you can start Special Cargo source missions from inside the CEO Office in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. The following are the steps to source Special Cargo that GTA Online CEO guide readers should follow:
- Log into the CEO Office computer.
- Click on Special Cargo.
- Click on the Warehouse Map button.
- Click on any of the Special Cargo Warehouses you want to fill.
- The game will give you three options: source one crate, source two crates, and source three crates. Always select the third option.
- Get out of the CEO Office and acquire the Special Cargo from the location shown on the map.
- Deliver the product to the Special Cargo Warehouse.
You can also assign the Warehouse Staff to source cargo on your behalf. They charge $7500 and will source cargo in 48 real-life minutes. You must rinse and repeat this process until their Special Cargo Warehouse is filled. Each source mission is followed by a small cooldown time. During this, you can either source cargo to another warehouse or engage in other money-making jobs in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online.
Once you bring a special cargo crate to your warehouse, you can immediately sell it. However, we advise you to wait for the Warehouse to fill. The selling missions are almost similar to other businesses in the multiplayer game, but you must start them from the Warehouse and not from the CEO Office. The steps are as follows:
- Log into the Special Cargo Warehouse computer.
- Choose the option to sell all the crates at once.
- You will get one or multiple vehicles to sell the products. Deliver the vehicle(s) to the destination to complete the sell mission.
The payout from this mission depends on the number of crates sold. However, a full large warehouse should generate around $4 million.
How to make money through the CEO Office Vehicle Cargo business
The Vehicle Cargo business is very similar to the Special Cargo Warehouse. But here, you have to do grand theft auto. While Rockstar Games offers nine Vehicle Warehouses, GTA Online CEO guide readers can acquire only one. The locations are as follows:
- Cypress Flats Vehicle Warehouse - $2,675,000
- Davis Vehicle Warehouse - $2,495,000
- El Burro Heights Vehicle Warehouse - $1,635,000
- Elysian Island Vehicle Warehouse - $1,950,000
- La Mesa Vehicle Warehouse - $1,500,000
- La Puerta Vehicle Warehouse - $2,735,000
- LSIA Vehicle Warehouse - $2,170,000
- LSIA Vehicle Warehouse 2 - $2,300,000
- Murrieta Heights Vehicle Warehouse - $2,850,000
Every Vehicle Warehouse offers 40 storage slots. Therefore, you can refer to the best Vehicle Warehouse location guide to select the one suitable for them.
The following are the steps to source cars for the Vehicle Warehouse:
- Log into the CEO Office computer.
- Click on Vehicle Cargo.
- Click on the Source Vehicle button.
- Get out of the CEO Office and steal the vehicle from the location shown on the map.
- Deliver the car to the Vehicle Cargo Warehouse with little to no damage.
The selling process is also pretty straightforward. The following are the steps to sell Vehicle Cargo:
- Log into the Vehicle Cargo Warehouse computer.
- Select the car(s) you want to sell.
- Click on Export.
- Rockstar Games gives you three buyers: Private, Showroom, and Specialist Dealer. Always select the last as it offers the most money.
- Customize the car(s) as you wish.
- Deliver the car(s) to the destination to complete the process.
If you are a solo player in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online, we advise you to sell only one car at a time. Moreover, you should be careful during the delivery process as enemy NPCs will try to destroy the car and lower the income.
The Value of the car depends on its tier. Rockstar Games offers cars from three tiers: Top, Mid, and Standard. The Top tier cars have the most value and offer around $100,000 per delivery.
How to make money through the CEO Office Special Vehicle Work
While the Special Cargo and Vehicle Cargo jobs can be done solo, the Special Vehicle Work requires two to four players under your organization. Rockstar Games offers eight Special Vehicle Work missions and you have to complete certain numbers of Vehicle Cargo missions to unlock them. They are as follows:
- Escape Escort - 4 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Breakdown Recovery - 8 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Cleanup Op - 12 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Asset Seizure - 16 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Firewall Protection - 20 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Coast Guard Duty - 24 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- End of Transmission - 28 Vehicle Cargo Missions
- Arms Embargo - 32 Vehicle Cargo Missions
The payouts for these missions depend on the level of difficulty, time spent in the mission, and the number of players. Therefore, we advise you to bring as many players to the missions and do them without rushing.
These are the main money-making methods you can try in GTA Online. It is also worth noting that the aforementioned CEO Work missions offer around $20,000 each. Plus, you can do Export Mixed Goods missions from the CEO Office Assistant to make extra cash.
