VicePeakWhich activity makes the most money in GTA Online?
These are the methods that pay the most per hour, worked out over the full cycle: play time, plus the wait imposed before you can cash out. It comes from the same engine as VicePeak.
Figures checked on October 8, 2026.
How the figures are calculated
In short: on the latest checked figures, the top-ranked method is “Diamond Casino Heist : The Big Con”, at about $1,522,785 per hour. It needs a purchase of $1,235,000 first.
The rest of the ranking
Sorted by dollars earned per hour, over the full cycle. In your plan, they are ranked for you.
Ranked for your cash, your crew and your time
See my rankingThe more you tell us, the more your ranking looks like you
This page gives the general answer. Your plan starts from you, and everything you fill in makes it more precise:
Your cash : the ranking sets aside what you cannot afford yet and lifts what pays the most with what you have.
What you own : it counts what is already unlocked and does not make you buy again what you have.
Your crew : solo, two or four players is not the same list.
Your time : it keeps only what fits your evening.
Your goal : it puts everything back in order to get there, and tells you what to buy first.
After a few questions, first place is no longer necessarily the one shown here: it is yours.
See my rankingWhy this ranking differs from other guides
Most rankings divide the payout by play time alone. For an activity where you have to wait before selling, that inflates the result.
Example with “Hangar Smuggling”: $1,285,714 per hour if you only count 35 min of play, but $113,924 per hour once the 6 hrs wait is counted.
Good to know before you start
An hourly figure assumes you chain the activity. When the game imposes a limit or a delay, your plan shows it for each activity.
Payouts are averages worked out from the ranges recorded: your result varies from game to game.
This page is the general one. Your plan is about you.
Tell VicePeak three things: your plan builds itself in front of you, with figures worked out for your game.
Your ranking, just for you. Recalculated from your cash, what you own, your crew and your time. What ranks first here can be far behind for you.
Your first purchase, and the next. What to buy with your money, in what order, with the payback time of each purchase.
Short steps. A plan in ten steps at most: the activities to run and their order, with nothing to look up elsewhere.
A plan that moves with you. When you finish it, the next one takes into account what you earned. Your progress and net worth stay tracked.
Analyses before you buy. The analysis shows what to play and what to buy to reach what you are after, vehicles included.
