The Executive
The Executive has a reputation for being the least volatile career option inGTA Online, and it is a popular choice among newbies to get a feel for the game. Players get an office and warehouses to store and sell contraband cargo crates at a profit, a simple buy-and-sell commercial mechanism with few risks. Vehicle warehouses are the minting machine for this establishment asGTA Online’s supercarsare virtually always in demand, and after a few time-consuming missions to steal them, they are the quickest way for players to make a solid buck.
The Biker
Being the president of a motorcycle club has always held an edgy appeal, and since the introduction of theLos Santos Drug Wars DLC,GTA Onlineplayers had ample reason to give the Biker career path a test run. Only requiring a token investment, gamers can start their virtual bikers cult and branch into multiple lucrative black market ventures like producing and selling illegal drugs from weed farms alongside carrying out deadly contracts. For players who get a kick out of living life on the fast lane and looking over their shoulders for police, the Biker is the best career.
Night Club Owner
They say crime thrives under the cover of darkness, andGTA Online’s Nightclubcareer is a prime example, offering players access to multiple criminal activities like money laundering, mafia, and drug dealings. Gamers also get access to a perk car called the Terrobyte, exclusive to the career. However, this path requires slightly more technical know-how than the Biker and the Executive, as a lot of effort goes into improving a nightclub’s popularity to the point of steady profits.
Gunrunner
Sowing chaos is hard to pass up inGrand Theft Auto, and the Gunrunner actively encourages players to be unruly as can be. The Gunrunner career funds gang wars from behind the scenes with weapons and ammunition, which involves researching and developing heavy-duty machinery. Since the learning curve is so steep and the required facilities to kickstart this career are so expensive, many newer players tend to lean in favor of the Executive and the Biker. Despite the challenges, the Gunrunner has some of the highest profit margins in the game, and this is thebest business to get rich inGTA Online.
Grand Theft Auto Onlineis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
