5 best ways to make money in GTA Online

Players have often been told that running an illegal business, like selling stolen cars, is the best way to hoard up in-game cash in GTA Online.

While that may be true, running a business is not always a walk in the park - even in a video game.

Some players simply do not like the daily grind of managing a warehouse or trudging through a series of source missions. It makes the game feel a lot more like an actual business than what it is - just a game.

Fortunately, there are less complicated ways to make money in GTA Online. This article takes a look at the 5 of them.

5 best ways to make money in GTA Online

#5 Treasure Hunts

Treasure hunts are one of the most lucrative and fun ways to earn the big bucks in GTA Online.

When the player joins an online session and plays for a few minutes on Freemode, the system automatically sends an email with a picture of a specified location where the treasure is hidden.

The player's job is to head to the marked areas on the map and find a note. There will be a chime in the game to signify whether the player is closer to the note or farther. The chime gets louder as the player gets closer.

This GTA Online mission is worth $250,000.

To take the game - or rather the money - to the next level, the player can take part in another treasure hunt prompted by a certain Maude. Pleasing Maude will get the player another $250,000.
