According to a new screenshot from the GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC, Rockstar has added a subtle but funny Michael De Santa reference. This comes after many fans were disappointed not to find Michael's presence in the content update. However, this new revelation has renewed fan expectations of seeing Michael in an upcoming update.
In light of that, here's what we know about a Michael De Santa reference in GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties.
Michael reference found in GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties
As reported by @GrandTheftLore on X, the latest Most Wanted Bounty Target mission from the GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC has an easy-to-miss Michael De Santa Easter egg. This latest target is Cleo Song, a Vinewood actress running from tax fraud charges. Now, since she's related to Vinewood, you can see a call sheet during the mission for a new movie from Richards Majestic Productions.
What's interesting here is the movie's name: Sugar T*ts Goes Skiing. Now, as the X user pointed out, "Sugar T*ts" is a derogatory nickname for Michael used by Trevor and Devin Weston during the events of Grand Theft Auto 5. In The Contract DLC for GTA Online, Franklin confirmed that Michael was still working at Richards Majestic Productions.

This proves that this little detail is an intentional reference to Michael. Some fans, including @that1detectiv3, have speculated that this could be a subtle hint at a future DLC involving Michael De Santa himself. Grand Theft Auto fans have been asking Rockstar to bring the protagonist back, and the GTA 5 voice actor Ned Luke himself has shown interest in working for Rockstar again.
The GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties update adds a Bail Office property, new vigilante missions called Dispatch Work, and several new vehicles, including three police cars. When Rockstar revealed the DLC's trailer, fans managed to spot Rockstar's version of Microsoft Excel, called Worksheet. This has since been fully revealed with the update, as you can spot this application on several computers during the Bounty Target and Dispatch Work missions.
Although Worksheet is a small but interesting detail, it's nowhere near as impactful as a Michael reference in Grand Theft Auto Online. Hopefully, Rockstar does bring the character back in subsequent updates.
