With ten years of hard work, this GTA online fan has managed to accumulate the megalomaniacal sum of one billion GTA dollars.
As long as Grand Theft Auto 6 isn’t out yet, there’s nothing left to do but put a few more hours into Grand Theft Auto 5. It’s not that bad, especially since the game has enjoyed considerable popularity throughout its lifespan.
GTA 5 is more than a decade old, and so is its popular online mode. What if you haven’t sat still and worked hard online all these years? Then you can call yourself a billionaire: a GTA fanatic shows off his gigantic savings account.
One billion dollars in ten years
Just to be clear, we are talking about GTA dollars, the virtual currency used in the game. Still, the figure of a billion is very impressive. Player AlexLovesMetallica94 shared on Reddit the amount that was in his savings account.

And many other gamers responded to that. According to AlexLovesMetallica94, he accumulated the gigantic amount over the past decade by himself, without cheating or buying money with so-called “Sharkcards.
He was able to raise that megalomaniacal amount through blood, sweat and tears. By playing many of the online missions such as heists, buying casinos and other forms of lucrative pursuits, his bank account has a whole lot of zeros.
Spending the money the way it should be spent
You can do a lot of fun things with this much money. This GTA fan certainly did just that. In his ten years of GTA, he has bought a whole bunch of vehicles and apartments. For example, Alex has 260 cars, 20 flying vehicles, the submarine, all the business opportunities, practically all the apartments and the biggest yacht.
All that money in your bank account is impressive. Many other Reddit users speculate on how much they themselves saved if they had never spent anything in GTA. Chances are, then, the amounts creep toward the billion, since all spending in GTA involves very large sums of money.

Moreover, Alex emphasizes that he never bought money. In fact, for GTA-online there is the possibility to buy Sharkcards with real money. This way you can quickly pad your bank account, but that is seen as cheating by many gamers.
GTA-online remains immensely popular
Big money or not, Alex at least shows that GTA-online is still very popular after all these years. Not surprising, since Rockstar Games has continued to make updates to the online service all these years. It is to be hoped that GTA 6 will also get a corresponding online mode.
There’s a good chance of that. After all, Red Dead Redemption 2, which was also made by Rockstar, also had an online mode. The only bad news for Alex is that he probably won’t be able to bring his hard-earned money to GTA 6. That’s just another decade of saving up.
GTA 6 is getting closer by the day. By now, we also know quite a bit about what the game will look like. Curious about the ins and outs of Grand Theft Auto 6? You can read it below:
