GTA 5 - How to Make $2.1 Billion 

IGN: do lesters missions after you complete the game. Me: restarts the game crying

90% of viewers already did Lester's heists

It's funny to me that no one seems to mention, this was Lester's plan. This was literally why he sent you on those missions, to manipulate the stock market so that he could get a massive return on investment. Imagine how absurdly rich he is after all the years of scheming like this, especially with what's likely a near infinitely large investment pool. He probably has enough money to become a world power at this point.

That was the most casual and ineffective spoiler warning ever.

Franklin got about 260 hours of sleep for this

2022 and it's a few weeks until 2023 and I'm still playing gta v story mode since 2013 10 years later ( small eddit ) 2024 and still playing 😆

When you have to restart the game because you already did Lester’s assassinations:

If you choose option C at the end, right after you complete it and you get the money from the big score, dump it all into Augury Insurance. Sleep a couple of times (2-3 times worked for me) and you'll get 100% return, doubling your money from the last heist. This will allow you to start doing these assassination missions with 80 million instead of 40. This way you'll be able to reach the 2.1 billion even if the trades are shittier now

Let's all be honest we doin this to get that damm golf club n theater

Instructions unclear, accidentally did this in real life

This still works in 2021, but the profit margins have been lowered to stay away from the 2.1B hard limit. You'll still end up with enough funds to buy everything and have a large (~$500M) investment portfolio across all three characters. It kinda depends on how many planes/cars you buy and crash 10 minutes later. The Lester missions are the real Big Score.

IGN: "kill trevor" me: "we are scooter brothers, scooooter brothers!"

I have a billion without the “illion” and “roke” replacing it

Imagine if a company went bankrupt after some guy invested 2.1 billion dollars in them

"You should get a return of around 300%" Me: -14%

Only if the stocks were that easy in real life as well🙃

*Says spoilers* 0.0002 seconds later “kills Trevor”

IGN: _“Kill Trevor”_ Me: _“That I cannot do”_

Who is here after the GTA 6 trailer 😂

FYI rockstar nerfed the stock market assassinations for next gen consoles. You can only make 1.7 billion. Multi-Target Assassination: DEB - takes 3-4 days, return cap is 62-70% RWC - takes 2-3 days, return cap is 300-340% Vice Assassination: FRT - takes 2-3 days, return cap is 20-25% FAC - takes 4-5 days, return cap is 30-33% Bus Assassination: VAP - takes 7-12 days, return cap is 90-100% Construction Assassination: GCD - takes 3-5 days, return cap is 44-55% Takes lots of saving and quitting and reloading.

So if anyone is trying this now. It still works. You just have to sleep a lot more often. For whatever reason, rockstar nerfed the return rates per day. Just keep sleeping and it will eventually hit the amount you're looking for

Let me guess... we’re all doing this on quarantine to pass the time aren’t we? Edit: thanks for the likes 🙏🏽

Just finished this guide. It does work. Dont expect the numbers stated in this video. Lots of saving and waiting. Enjoy

There's an important step not mentioned in here, right after you complete the game, put all of your money into AUG stock, that will double your money to over 80 mil before you do any of the assassination missions.

I came in for money came out with a economy dgree

POV: you're watching this after finishing all the assassinations "How to make 2.1B Step 1: fail"

Goddamn its a pain to sleep like a million times for the stocks to change like 2%

Don’t forget the random encounter on the northwest highway where you save the girl and bring her to the airport. Do this after all the rest and you get a stock tip from her netting you another 100% return

I just want enough money to buy the golf club lmao

Stonks 📈

This video gives me so much nostalgia because this game is so old

Awesome video, thank you for this info!

I refuse to kill Trevor, always choose deathwish

"Don't do Lester's missions until the end of the game" Me: ........

1. do Lester first mission 2. Before killing 4 jurors invest in debonaire ( wait until middle or evening of the next day and then sell ) 3. dump money into redwood ( wait 2 days then sell ) 4. invest in ifruit and then do next mission ( after doing it , immediately sell the shares ) 5. buy facade shares after selling the ifruit shares then sleep for a day or two until the shares are around 30 bucks ) 6. do the bus assassination then wait a short while for the vapid shares to go downhill and buy them, wait for a day or two until it’s 100% return 7. before doing the last assassination dump money into GoldCoast shares ( wait a day or two until 80-90% return on investment)

Will definitely use this on my next playthrough thank you liked and subd

Pls do a real life version of this

2014 = GTA 5 how to make 2.1 billion dollars 2017 = OMG WTF?!?! NEW GTA HACK 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS?!?!?

Thank u so much for posting this .

For me fruit facade and vapid were all in the single digit dollar range for some reason and it took like a month in game for red wood to go back up

The 10K dislikes are from people who did the Lester missions already

I wish i should've watched this video before completing the game 367 times.

Debonair (wait till middle of next day) Redwood (wait couple days in game time) Fruit (emediately) Farcade (sleep day or 2) Wait a bit out in vapid ( wait next day)

This guide still works

It takes 2 hours to finish this four minute video

3:02 this is for me to mark my progress in the morning. Please ignore.

Anyone else come back for a refresher after getting this game on Ps5 or Xbox Series?

The wait after the Debonaire mission for the 90% return has been patched to 60% at most

“Sleep a day or 2” Franklin proceeds to sleep 67 times and still no change

Him: don’t do lesters heists Me: Ight imma head out

2024 here and they severely nerfed the stock prices compared to what they are in this video. Facade was $470 a share in this video but on ps5 it’s only $6 and only dropped to $4 after the assassination

Brilliant step by step instructions... Thank you

You reading thousands comments every day make sure this is one of them

Nice, now tell us how to earn 2.1 billion in GTA online

IGN: you will get 2.1 billion dollars Me: -45 return

usually just invested in the rival company with all 3 characters and save scummed until the price went down then loaded my last save and sold. You are double dipping by using both companies it brings a proud tear to my eye.

Dude literally said spoilers and didn’t give us a chance XD

Bro just is teaching us how to buy and sell stock more than school ever will

I'm so glad on the newer versions of the game the stock market actually works and you can make millions in the beginning of the game

This is great help but over the years all the numbers have changed. You will get a return but not as high and what used to take one day in game day now might take 5 or more days. Still worth the wait 👍

“don’t do the assassin missions until after the big score” sighs, restarts story mode

IGN: you should have around 40 million before beginning me with 28 million: 😐

For those who are saying the redwoods one doesn't work just save and save again and again and keep track of the percentage it will skyrocket after a ton of saves ;)

Cheers my man this made the most sense

9 year olds who clicked on the title and thought they were talking about gta online

Now to apply this in real life.

Bro the amount of kids that are saying it doesn’t work because they think it’s online in crazy

Any one 2024?

This is not a Glitch, Rockstar intended for this to be in the game, Hence why it’s on your phone.

"You should get a return of around 60%" Me: 17%

2023 and im sitting at 550 million on each character after just the first assassination mission

Note: for PS3 and Xbox 360 players, since the servers are down, the bawsaq network is also down forever, so you can’t put your stock in for 2 of the assassinations, so the most money you can make for each character is around $600,000,000

It took me 3 hours but i managed to make 1.5 billion and it's 2020

5 yrs later.. still play 😇

After you complete the last mission where you have to kill Michael,Trever or You do the death wish whatever choice you take after the mission is completed and you get all your money from the Big score heist, invest in augury insurance and sleep 3 or 4 times and you will get 100 percent return.

People say it doesn’t work with red wood or faced but it does just switch to Trevor and keep sleeping and check the stocks with redwood it may be down for the first few days but after you sleep more the stocks will go up just be patient guys

You should see around 60% return. Me: looking at around 1 percent.

I tried this now I'm serving life in jail for embezzlement

Trevor is the absolute most fun character in the game. Deathwish gives you more story anyway.

Even after 8 years this is still helpful. Thanks IGN

I wish I would’ve seen this video. before I completed gta V story mode

Him: you should end up with 2.1 billion Me: ending up with 40 million

3:33 bro really violated us who weren’t as lucky as him 💀

if yall alr did the assasination missions, just restart, if u speedrun then u can finish it in a day

That was the Worst spoiler warning in history dude.

"sleep for one day and sell for 100% return" i slept on day and got a 2.1% return

did it all the way he said and still ended up with 75 mil

Here’s a fun fact after that last stock investment you hit the in game limit to the amount of money one could hold

A little tip igs, Michael sleeps for 6 hours, Franklin sleeps for 8, and Trevor sleeps for 12 hours. so if you really want to skip time just sleep as Trevor

When he says sleep for a day or 2 he really means a whole week

How many days do you have to wait for redwood stocks to go up

There is one mission left that you can make 30% more all you have to do is take a npc that has a broken down car and rush him to the airport to catch his flight and he tells you to invest in tinkle on bawsaq

I dont care. Besides... I'm probably gonna be dead in a couple weeks.

Who else is reading the comments to see if this still works

Honestly the shares seem to be a bit different in prices now...

All of these still work 100% keep sleeping and checking the stock market after each sleep ... out of nowhere it will drop and then skyrocket... especially the REDWOOD STOCK from the first mission.

So I legit restarted the game just to do this. #Worth

Him: makes 2.1 billion dollars... Me: Only makes 200 million...

People who do do this after the missions you have to play or go to sleep for a day for it to work

Thx bro nice video
