Which is the highest-paying GTA Online heist of all time?

There are a variety of ways to make money in the open world of GTA Online. This includes heists, the multi-part elaborate story missions that have been a part of the game since the release of the Heists Update. Like the story mode, heists consist of a series of setup missions that lead to big payout crimes.

Over the years, GTA Online has received multiple expansions, most notably The Doomsday Heist. The update gave players a plethora of heists to undertake in their quest to become the kingpin of Southern San Andreas. However, out of all the heists available in the game, the Diamond Casino Heist is the highest-paying one.
