There are some methods to make money fast in GTA V Online. Let's explore a few to give you a boost.


The prime resource in GTA Online is money. You can do so much with it; what's even better is that you can invest it to make even more.

With money in GTA V Online, you can buy more outfits, vehicles, weapons, properties, and upgrade your businesses.

Let's try out a few ways to make money fast in GTA Online.



How to make money in GTA V Online

The Fleece Job Money Heist

This is one of the quicker heists you can do, taking up to about 15 minutes. Even if you think that sounds long, remember that most heists in GTA V Online require a squad of players, three others. This one requires only one friend. It will be much easier to grind this one out.

Depending on how well you do, you can take about $300,000-$400,000 in one go.

Credits to Fresh Gaming for finding this one.

Hao's Special Works Time Trials (HSW)

For this one, you will have to unlock these Time Trials first. Head over to the location with the marker that says "Hao's Vehicle." Beat the first Time Trial challenge to unlock these.

Now, you'll be able to participate in these Hao's Special Works Time Trials. Make sure to do them weekly, as you can get about $250,000 for races that can take as little as under two minutes of time.

You will need an HSW-upgraded vehicle for this as well, so make sure you own a vehicle that is HSW-compatible.

Play online modes

GTA Online has a variety of online games. It's best to find a friend group, then maybe start a weekly evening when you get to play.

Among the variety of GTA online games, for example, my World of Warcraft guild likes to take a break from the MMORPG grind and play Sumo. Sumo is where we let our "toxicity" flow. It's a straightforward type of game where you try to end up in a small zone and push the other cars out. The zone gets smaller each time. It's basically destruction derby with your friends.

Best thing for us? We get to make money just by playing it. It's almost too good to be true. Find an online mode you want to play with a small group and make easy money while enjoying yourself in GTA V Online. This has got to be the best method. At least, the most fun, though it does require a group.

Investing, night clubs, and money-making methods in GTA Online

Let's round out the above tips with a list of more things you can do to bring in the dough.

  • Invest in Motorcycle Clubs and Nightclubs. Make sure to upgrade security and you should be making up to $400,000 every two hours

  • Pizza This... missions. Deliver pizza from a few stores on the map, to up to five targets. Earn tips the faster you do it. Good for smaller, quick cash.

  • Regular Time Trials. There are also other Time Trials scattered around the map to do.

Invest the money you make into business upgrades to make your passive income as big as possible, then enjoy yourself with a variety of activities around Los Santos. But the above heists and activities are what you should do to focus in on some grinding to quickly make money in GTA Online.

While you do that, get better audio on console or PC with an Arctis Nova 5 Wireless.
