The best ways to make the most money in GTA 5 Online often require an initial investment that most beginners are, unfortunately, unable to utilize. Luckily, Rockstar Games added a new heist in March 2024, the Cluckin Bell Farm Raid, that unlocks without meeting any monetary prerequisites.

All one needs to do is wait for a call from Vincent Effenburger and then meet him at the Vespucci Police Station in Los Santos, marked with a yellow V on the map. Beating it pays $500,000; which renders it a good option for making money in GTA 5 Online for all types of players.

However, if you have some cash in your Maze Bank account, you should consider meeting Miguel Madrazo at the Music Locker and getting the Kosatka submarine from Warstock Cache and Carry to unlock The Cayo Perico Heist.

Despite having its payouts nerfed some months ago, stealing items like the Pink Diamond as Primary and Cocaine as Secondary Target in this heist can still earn you around a million dollars.

Another great money-making option for GTA 5 Online players is the VIP Contract which has a $1,000,000 payout. To unlock it, you must purchase a Celebrity Solutions Agency from the Dynasty 8 Executive website and then complete one Security Contract from this business.

The VIP Contract includes some story missions featuring GTA 5 story mode protagonist - Franklin Clinton and popular musician - Dr. Dre. They can take a few hours to beat but can entertain players while they wait for Summer Update 2024.

All the jobs mentioned above can be completed solo. However, if you have a squad to play with, The Diamond Casino Heist is one of the best ways to make the most money in GTA 5 Online before the GTA Online June update 2024. Note that it requires the Arcade business as a prerequisite.
