Is there a money cheat?
No. GTA 5 has no cheat for money in story mode or GTA Online. Sites offering 'money generators' are scams: they steal accounts and can get you banned.
Save Lester's assassinations for later
Lester's assassination missions move the in-game stock market. Don't play them until after the big heist payouts, so every character has cash to invest.
Before each assassination, invest each character's money in the company that benefits. The classic example: before The Hotel Assassination, put everything into Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET) on LCN, then sell once it has climbed.
Sleep or wait in-game a few days to let the price rise, then sell. Repeat across all three characters.
Other reliable money
Heists: the story heist payouts are your biggest single cash injections. Choose crew members with good skill for higher take-home.
Properties: some businesses pay a weekly income. Buy them after you've made your stock market gains.
Armored trucks and random events give small but quick money while exploring.
