what's happening everybody John right
here with IGN and we're looking at what
it takes to get rich in grand theft auto
5 now I don't mean Big Score 40 million
dollars rich I'm talking about Devin
Weston penthouse two point 1 billion
dollars rich billion with a B that's
right you can become a billionaire if
you follow one simple rule don't do any
of Lester's assassination missions until
after you've completed the final heist
if you've already played to the game on
360 or ps3 you probably knew this
already but if you're just visiting Los
Santos for the first time here's how to
take that measly 38 or 39 million you
made during the big score and turn it
into some serious walking around money
once you pull off the Union depository
heist and finish the game you should
have about thirty eight million dollars
in each character's bank account maybe a
little bit more if you helped out the
FIB and spoilers killed Trevor
Lester still has for assassination
contracts for you to complete and their
way you're really going to rake in the
big bucks of course you had to complete
the hotel assassination in order to move
on to the story but for the love of
science or whatever you believe in make
sure not to take on any of his other
missions until after completing the big
score the first assassination after the
big heist is the multi target
assassination where Franklin has to take
out four jurors who've been bribed by
Redwood cigarettes in order to avoid
paying out for a class-action lawsuit
before starting the mission have all of
your characters invest in redwoods
rivaled debonair cigarettes once you
take out the jurors you'll see their
stocks start to rise if you sell your
shares immediately after the
assassination you'd see around a 60
percent return on your investment but if
you wait until the middle or evening of
the next day you'll see a return of
almost if not double the amount you put
into it the highest we saw was around
one hundred and three percent return on
our investment which ballooned our bank
account to around 80 million dollars the
next big step is to dump all your
profits from debonair right back into
Redwood while their stock is still at
its lowest value which seems to be
around 35 or 40 bucks a share
wait a couple more days of in-game time
either by sleeping or just tooling
around and you'll see the Redwood prices
skyrocket back up to over a hundred and
fifty bucks a share which is more than a
300% return on your initial investment
netting you a cool profit of around two
hundred million dollars now that you've
got a decently sized nest egg to invest
with head to the next Lester mission
which is the Vice assassination
apparently a morally bankrupt tech CEO
has a penchant for ladies of the night
which Franklin can use to his advantage
before the mission investing GTA's
version of Apple the Fruit Company which
is part of the boss AK Network
immediately after completing the mission
sell off your fruit shares for a 50-ish
percent return in a tidy profit of
around 170 million bucks the next step
is one that a lot of folks forget and
it's the one that makes the difference
between netting more than two billion
dollars in the stock market as opposed
to a piddly little 1.4 billion after
selling off your fruit shares head over
to the facade stocks page and put all
your money into that their shares have
dropped by around two hundred bucks each
head back to your house and sleep for a
day or two until facade stocks return
back up to around four hundred and
seventy bucks a share it might seem like
the 30% return you'll get isn't that
much but that extra hundred and fifty
million will make all the difference in
the world for the next assassination
you're only going to affect one stock
and you won't even be investing it until
after you've completed the mission the
bust assassination sees Franklin
hijacking a city bus in order to take
out an automotive executive and put the
kibosh on a big merger after you
eliminate mr. penny wait a short while
for the price of vapid motor cars to
plummet then put all six hundred and
fifty million dollars you should have by
now into that head back to bed for a day
or so then sell off your vapid stock for
a hundred percent return doubling your
money and netting you a whopping 1.3
billion dollars per character now that
much money is enough to buy all the
property in San Andreas and still have a
bunch left over but there's one more
assassination to take care of and this
one will give you enough to finally
build that scrooge mcduck like money
pool in your basement before starting
the construction assassination dump all
of your collective 3.9 billion dollars
into gold coast construction the idea is
that by taking out the mob boss who's
extorting the company the construction
firm will stay in business and there
we'll go way up once you blast your way
through the construction site and take
down Benelli wait a day or two and then
sell off your last ultra profitable
stocks for about an 80 or 90 percent
return and make a huge profit of more
than an additional billion dollars and
that's it you're officially now a
Vinewood billionaire just remember the
road to riches is paved with patience
and constant manual saves be sure to
turn off auto saving just in case you
invest in the wrong stock or sell at the
wrong time and be aware that if you do
miss a peak in stock prices you'll
probably see a similar high on the
market if you just advance time by a
week or two hopefully this has helped
all you master thieves and petty
criminals escape the poorhouse and for
everything else on GTA 5 for ps4 Xbox
one and last gen consoles - you're
already in the right place here at IGN
