Grinding for cash in GTA Online can be a pain, but if you know where to look, you can stack millions fast. The game’s been around for a decade, but in 2025, the money-making meta has changed again. So, what’s still worth your time? What’s a waste? Let’s break down the fastest ways to make money in GTA Online right now.
*UPDATED 2025* GTA 5 Online SOLO Cayo Perico Heist Guide (Stealth + Elite)
1. Cayo Perico Heist
Yes, but it’s not as OP as it used to be. Rockstar nerfed the back-to-back grind, but if you do it smartly, it’s still top-tier. Get the Kosatka (submarine), go solo, grab that main target, and dip. Payout? Around $1.5M in under an hour.
2. Acid Lab
Passive income is the move, and the Acid Lab is the best business in 2025. Unlike the old-school businesses, this one doesn’t need endless resupplies. Just source the product, let it cook, and sell for $335K per full batch. Bonus: Stealth sells = no griefers.
3. Nightclub
Once fully upgraded, your nightclub is literally free money. Max out all goods, and you’re pulling $1.5M+ every 50-60 hours. Just remember to keep your warehouse running—this is long-term passive income.
4. Agency VIP Contracts
Got an Agency? Franklin’s VIP Contract missions are a solid hustle. The Dr. Dre Contract pays $1M+, and the smaller Security Contracts stack up quick. Plus, you get a safe that prints $250K+ per in-game day.
5. Time Trials
If you have a decent bike (Bati 801 or Hakuchou Drag), Time Trials are free money. $100K+ for a two-minute race? Easy cash. HSW (Hao’s Special Works) Time Trials? $250K+ each. That’s 500K+ for just 10 minutes of work.
6. Payphone Hits
Once you own an Agency, Franklin’s Payphone Hits pop up. Finish in under 5 minutes, and that’s $85K+ per hit. Don’t sleep on these.
GTA Bunker Business Solo Guide
7. Gunrunning
GTA boosted Bunker sales recently, making Gunrunning profitable again. Fully upgraded, you’re looking at $1M+ per full sale. Set it up, let it run, profit.
8. LS Car Meet – Export List
Check the Export List at the LS Car Meet—steal & deliver those cars for $20K-$100K each. Quick, easy, and no setup needed.
Final Take
2025 is still a grind, but money-making in GTA Online is faster than ever—if you know where to look. Rockstar might nerf some of these, but for now, this is the fastest way to get rich quick in GTA Online (2025).
