Grand Theft Auto V or GTA V is one of the most popular games in the world. Since its debut in 2013, the game has gone on to become the second best-selling video game of all time, with over 175 million copies sold. The game has two modes - a story mode and an online multiplayer mode. With GTA V story mode, players can experience an action-filled storyline that follows the journey of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin. Although there are a lot of missions to complete and activities to carry out, players are bound to get bored with it. This is where GTA Online comes in.

It is an online multiplayer mode in GTA V where players can interact with each other in a sandbox environment. This has added to the game's popularity as those players who are bored of story mode can make the jump to GTA Online. In this mode, players can join a biker club, invest in stocks, and purchase vehicles and properties. However, all these activities require a hefty sum of money. While cash can be earned through activities like races and jobs, heists are the top avenue of earning money, especially if you require large sums at once.
