Grand Theft Auto 6: From Rags to Riches (the Legal, Ish, Way)
Ah, GTA 6. The game we've all been waiting for, like that one uncle promising to take you to Disneyland but always "next year." But guess what? It's finally here, baby! Time to dust off your ironic trucker hat and reacquaint yourself with the fine art of virtual mayhem. Speaking of mayhem, let's face it, who wants to spend their first 20 hours in Vice City slinging burgers at Cluckin' Bell? We need that sweet, sweet GTA dough, and fast. So, ditch the nine-to-five (or, in GTA's case, the nine-to-five-to-five-to-oh-god-it's-3-am) and buckle up for my foolproof guide to getting filthy rich in story mode, the legal-ish way (emphasis on the "ish").
1. Embrace the Inner Entrepreneur: Capitalism, GTA Style
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.![]()
-
Stocks, Stocks, Stocks!: Remember Uncle Phil from GTA 5? Turns out, the dude had a point about the BAWSAQ. Dive into the stock market early, manipulate it like a puppet on Red Bull, and watch your bank account inflate like a Kardashian after a lip injection appointment. Just remember, insider trading is frowned upon, even in a fictional Florida swamp.
-
Brick by Brick, Empire by Empire: Real estate ain't cheap in Vice City, but neither are the returns. Buy up properties early, especially those shady motels with hourly rates and questionable clientele. Rent hikes, "cleaning fees," and the occasional "lost and found" Rolex can turn your little motel into a money-printing machine (emphasis on the "printing," not the, ahem, "other activities" that might happen there).

QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.![]()
-
Paparazzi with a Punch: Forget selfies, these tourists want action shots! Grab your trusty smartphone (because let's be honest, who carries a camera anymore?), tail celebrities, and capture their meltdowns, fistfights, and iguana-related mishaps. Sell those pics to the tabloids for enough cash to buy your own private island (complete with obligatory attack helicopter landing pad, of course).
-
Treasure Hunter 2.0: Remember those hidden packages in previous GTAs? GTA 6 takes it up a notch with buried loot stashes across the map. Invest in a metal detector that doubles as a blackjack (you never know when you might need to "negotiate" with a rival treasure hunter), hit the beach, and start digging. Who needs a boring old job when you can unearth pirate gold and narwhal tusks (don't ask)?
3. Remember, Crime Doesn't Always Pay (But When it Does, Pay Big):
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.![]()
-
Shark Bait: Okay, so this one's technically illegal, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures (and a good lawyer). Befriend some of Vice City's less-than-reputable residents, take on their dirty work (think repossessions with a healthy dose of tire slashing), and rake in the ill-gotten gains. Just remember, the cops in this town have tasers that shoot heat-seeking missiles, so tread carefully.
-
Grand Theft Casino: Feeling lucky? Hit the tables at the Diamond Casino and Resort (because apparently, Vice City can't get enough of those). Blackjack, roulette, even that weird game where you throw shrimp at a clown – master them all and walk away with enough chips to buy your own casino (and maybe even bribe your way out of a few felonies).
There you have it, folks! Your roadmap to becoming a Vice City tycoon, the legal-ish way. Remember, the key is to diversify, adapt, and occasionally resort to questionable tactics. Just like that time you "borrowed" your neighbor's lawnmower to "trim" the evidence after a particularly messy heist. Good times, good times. Now get out there and show Vice City who's boss (or at least, who has the most offshore bank accounts). Just try not to blow it all on flamethrowers and attack dolphins.
