AI Summary

This guide explains how to become a billionaire in Grand Theft Auto 5 by strategically completing Lester's assassination missions after the final heist. By investing in specific stocks before and after each mission, players can turn their initial $38 million into over $2.1 billion per character.

[00:17]
Golden Rule: Delay Assassination Missions

Do not complete any of Lester's assassination missions until after the final heist. This allows you to use the full $38 million from the heist to invest in stocks affected by the missions.

[01:10]
Multi Target Assassination: Invest in Debonair

Before the mission, invest all money in Debonair Cigarettes (rival of Redwood). After killing the jurors, Debonair stock rises ~80-103%. Sell for profit, then reinvest in Redwood while it's low. Redwood rebounds to ~$150/share, yielding over 300% return.

[02:26]
Vice Assassination: Invest in Fruit Company

Before the mission, invest in the Fruit company (BAWSAQ). After completion, sell for ~50% return (~$170 million profit). Then invest all in Facade (BAWSAQ) while it's low (~$200/share). After a few days, sell when it returns to ~$470/share for ~30% return.

[03:09]
Bus Assassination: Invest in Vapid After Mission

Complete the mission first, then wait for Vapid stock to plummet. Invest all $650 million in Vapid. After a day, sell for 100% return, netting $1.3 billion per character.

[03:54]
Construction Assassination: Invest in Gold Coast

Before the mission, invest all $3.9 billion in Gold Coast Construction. After killing the target, wait a day or two, then sell for ~80-90% return, adding over $1 billion.

By following this investment strategy and making manual saves to avoid mistakes, players can amass over $2.1 billion per character, enough to buy all properties and have plenty left over.

[00:17] 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

[00:29] 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 You should have about 38 million dollars in each Character's bank account

[00:46] Maybe a little bit more if you helped out the FIB and spoilers killed Trevor assassination contracts for you to complete and their way you're really going to rake in the big bucks

[00:58] 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

[01:10] 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

[01:27] Stocks start to rise if you sell your shares immediately after the assassination you'd see around a 60 percent return on your investment 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

[01:43] Which ballooned our bank account to around 80 million dollars. 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

[01:55] 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 200 million dollars.

[02:13] Now that you've got a decently sized nest egg to invest with head to the next lester mission Apparently a morally bankrupt tech ceo has a penchant for ladies of the night which Franklin can use to his advantage.

[02:26] Before the mission invest in GTA's version of Apple the fruit company. Which is part of the Bawsaq 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.

[02:39] And it's the one that makes the difference between netting more than 2 billion dollars in the stock market as opposed to a piddly little 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

[02:55] around 200 bucks each head back to your house and sleep for a day or two until facade stocks Return back up to around 470 bucks a share It might seem like the 30% return you'll get isn't that much but that extra 150 million will make all the difference in

[03:09] 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 bus assassination sees franklin hijacking a city bus in order to take out an automotive executive and put the kibosh on a big merger

[03:39] 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

[03:54] 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 will go way up

[04:09] 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

[04:24] 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 You'll probably see a similar high on the market if you just advance time by a week or two
