How to make a lot of money in GTA 5 (The best moneymakers)

Money makes the world go round, and GTA 5 players need a lot of it to fully enjoy the game.

For example, purchasing something like the Los Santos Golf Club ($150,000,000) is out of reach for most gamers, even if they beat the main storyline. The main moneymakers that players should employ are:

• Lester's Assassinations
• Infinite Money Glitch

GTA 5 players will also earn a few million dollars through the game's several heists by progressing along the main storyline. However, the key infinite money glitch to keep in mind happens on the mission, The Paleto Score Setup.

Both Lester's Assassinations and the Infinite Money Glitch are, by far, GTA 5's best moneymakers. Otherwise, players are limited to small-time payments or one-time bonuses.

Lester's Assassinations are unquestionably the best way to earn the most amount of money in GTA 5 within a quick time frame. Essentially, the player invests in a stock before doing the mission, and sells it after the mission. Afterward, they buy another stock that crashed hard, wait a few days, and sell that stock for extra profits.

This is a list of Lester's Assassinations in GTA 5 (only the first one is mandatory for the in-game storyline):

• The Hotel Assassination
• The Multi-Target Assassination
• The Vice Assassination
• The Bus Assassination
• The Construction Assassination

GTA 5's Infinite Money Glitch

There is a minor and easily missable interaction in GTA 5's Paleto Score Setup mission where Lester tells the crew to buy a gun if they don't have one. At this point, the player should invest all of their money into stocks (any will do) until they're under $500.

Every time the player is under $500, the game will give them an extra $500. Continue to buy stocks and repeat this process until one has a satisfactory amount of money invested into stocks.

From there, players should complete the mission and sell the stocks to get whatever amount that they had invested.
