GTA 5 - How to Make $2.1 Billion

IGN shows you how to make more than two billion (with a 'B') dollars via the stock market assassination missions in Grand Theft Auto 5 on PS4 / Xbox One and PS3 / Xbox 360.

90% of viewers already did Lester's heists

IGN: do lesters missions after you complete the game.

Me: restarts the game crying

It's funny to me that no one seems to mention, this was Lester's plan. This was literally why he sent you on those missions, to manipulate the stock market so that he could get a massive return on investment. Imagine how absurdly rich he is after all the years of scheming like this, especially with what's likely a near infinitely large investment pool. He probably has enough money to become a world power at this point.

2022 and it's a few weeks until 2023 and I'm still playing gta v story mode since 2013 10 years later ( small eddit ) 2024 and still playing 😆

That was the most casual and ineffective spoiler warning ever.

Instructions unclear, accidentally did this in real life

When you have to restart the game because you already did Lester’s assassinations:

Franklin got about 260 hours of sleep for this

Let's all be honest we doin this to get that damm golf club n theater

[ZFPAkula]

This still works in 2021, but the profit margins have been lowered to stay away from the 2.1B hard limit. You'll still end up with enough funds to buy everything and have a large (~$500M) investment portfolio across all three characters. It kinda depends on how many planes/cars you buy and crash 10 minutes later. The Lester missions are the real Big Score.

IGN: "kill trevor"
me: "we are scooter brothers, scooooter brothers!"

[druzzi]

I have a billion without the “illion” and “roke” replacing it

[tomek]

Imagine if a company went bankrupt after some guy invested 2.1 billion dollars in them

[Big_R]

"You should get a return of around 300%"

Me: -14%

[realgorki]

Only if the stocks were that easy in real life as well🙃

[ElverGalarga-lhrf]

If you choose option C at the end, right after you complete it and you get the money from the big score, dump it all into Augury Insurance. Sleep a couple of times (2-3 times worked for me) and you'll get 100% return, doubling your money from the last heist. This will allow you to start doing these assassination missions with 80 million instead of 40. This way you'll be able to reach the 2.1 billion even if the trades are shittier now

[flyingpotatoes]

So if anyone is trying this now. It still works. You just have to sleep a lot more often. For whatever reason, rockstar nerfed the return rates per day. Just keep sleeping and it will eventually hit the amount you're looking for

[bentownson]

FYI rockstar nerfed the stock market assassinations for next gen consoles. You can only make 1.7 billion.

Multi-Target Assassination:
DEB - takes 3-4 days, return cap is 62-70%
RWC - takes 2-3 days, return cap is 300-340%

Vice Assassination:
FRT - takes 2-3 days, return cap is 20-25%
FAC - takes 4-5 days, return cap is 30-33%

Bus Assassination:
VAP - takes 7-12 days, return cap is 90-100%

Construction Assassination:
GCD - takes 3-5 days, return cap is 44-55%

Takes lots of saving and quitting and reloading.

[gunterdapenguin]

There's an important step not mentioned in here, right after you complete the game, put all of your money into AUG stock, that will double your money to over 80 mil before you do any of the assassination missions.
