🚨 This Week in Crime
Every week CRIMENET exposes:
broken GTA money methods, fake “INSANE SOLO” YouTube grinds, and the criminal opportunities Rockstar accidentally leaves lying around like unlocked armored vans.

The Best Simeon Missions For Grinding Cash Without Turning Into A Spreadsheet Goblin
There comes a moment in every GTA Online career where you look at your criminal empire and realize you’ve accidentally become middle management.
Your nightclub technicians need attention.
Your bunker staff is eating supplies faster than a plague of raccoons in a cereal factory.
Your Acid Lab is parked in a ditch somewhere because a flying motorcycle launched a missile at it from orbit.
And your warehouse assistant has once again sourced exactly three boxes and a stress-induced migraine.
So naturally, after all this sophisticated organized crime, many players return to the purest form of criminal income imaginable:
Stealing cars for Simeon Yetarian.
A man who looks and sounds like somebody turned a used BMW dealership into a human being.
And weirdly?
During bonus weeks, it works astonishingly well.
Not “buy a superyacht in twenty minutes” well.
More “solid, repeatable criminal income without needing twelve businesses and a second monitor full of spreadsheets” well.
Which is why we tested every worthwhile Simeon Contact Mission and Repo Work job to figure out exactly which ones make the most money, which ones waste your time, and which ones should legally qualify as emotional abuse.
First: The Money System Rockstar Never Explains Properly
Here’s the important bit.
Simeon missions pay based on:
completion time
difficulty
player count
bonus weeks
And this is where many players accidentally sabotage themselves.
Because Rockstar rewards longer mission times… but not enough to justify dragging missions forever like a dying cow across a parking lot.
The sweet spot is roughly 5 to 7 minutes per run.
That’s where hourly profit becomes strongest.
Finishing too fast slightly lowers payout.
Taking too long destroys your GTA$/hour faster than a cocaine addiction in a casino gift shop.

A bad team creates aviation footage suitable for documentary investigations.

Simeon missions during 4X weeks are secretly ridiculous money makers.
But if you want REAL criminal income, the Acid Lab still makes cash faster than a corrupt politician near a construction contract.

Not top-tier anymore.
Still excellent for beginners.
Chasers
Quietly one of the better low-level money missions.
Nobody talks about it because it lacks spectacle.
No giant explosions.
No helicopters.
No cinematic nonsense.
Just efficient crime.

Excellent money.
With randoms?
It becomes a travelling insurance scam.

Organized Crew | GTA$150K-200K/hr |
Random Players | Emotional damage |
4X Bonus Organized Crew | GTA$600K-800K/hr |
Here’s The Truth Nobody Wants To Admit
On a NORMAL week?
Simeon missions are NOT the best money grind in GTA Online.
Agency work beats them.
Acid Lab beats them.
Cluckin’ Bell beats them.
Payphone Hits beat them.
Grinding Simeon on normal payouts is like robbing a bank with a butter knife.
Technically criminal.
Strategically concerning.
BUT…
During 3X and 4X weeks?
Different story entirely.
Because Simeon missions have:
zero setup costs
instant replayability
no supply runs
no cooldowns
no property requirements
no business management simulator nonsense
You simply: launch mission → commit crime → receive money → repeat
Like an actual criminal.
Not a depressed Amazon warehouse supervisor with access to rocket launchers.
Best Solo Rotation
If you’re solo grinding:
Simeonomics
Blow Up IV
Blow Up
Chasers
All in the Game
This rotation gives the best consistency, fastest clears, and lowest chance of wanting to headbutt your monitor.
Best Crew Rotation
With competent teammates:
Do You Even Lift?
GTA Today II
Simeonomics
El Burro Heists
Of course, competent GTA Online teammates are rarer than honest politicians, but theoretically this works beautifully.
Final CRIMENET Verdict
Simeon Yetarian is the cockroach of Los Santos capitalism.
Governments collapse.
Drug empires implode.
Private militaries explode.
Flying bikes terrorize civilization.
Meanwhile Simeon is still standing there in his little dealership office asking you to steal another luxury SUV for twenty grand.
And somehow…
during bonus weeks…
the annoying little man is absolutely right.
Finished the guide?
Excellent. You are now financially qualified to understand that Simeon Yetarian somehow became a millionaire by convincing strangers to commit grand theft auto for hatchback money.

FAQ
What is the best Simeon mission for making money in GTA Online? Repo: Simeonomics is the best overall Simeon mission for money grinding. It has low travel time, simple objectives, fast completion speed, and excellent repeatability for solo players. During 3X and 4X bonus weeks, it becomes one of the strongest low-investment grinding methods in the entire game. Which is deeply humiliating for people who spent eight million dollars on a submarine just to earn roughly the same amount while being screamed at by a Russian man in a turtleneck.
How much money do Simeon missions pay in GTA Online? On normal weeks, most efficient Simeon missions pay around GTA$18,000 to GTA$23,000 per run, with realistic earnings between GTA$100K and GTA$200K per hour depending on skill and player count. During 2X, 3X, and 4X bonus weeks, optimized crews can realistically push GTA$500K to GTA$850K per hour. At that point Simeon stops being a used car dealer and starts looking like a tiny bald investment banker powered entirely by cigarettes and bad intentions.
Are Simeon missions better solo or with a crew? Some missions are vastly better solo, while others become money monsters with organized teammates. Simeonomics and Blow Up IV are fantastic solo. Do You Even Lift? and GTA Today II become dramatically stronger with 2 to 4 competent players. The problem is that “competent GTA Online players” is a category rarer than stable WiFi at a music festival.
What is the best completion time for Simeon missions? The ideal completion time is roughly 5 to 7 minutes. Finishing too quickly lowers payout efficiency slightly, but dragging missions to 15 minutes destroys your hourly income. Sitting in an alley waiting for a payout timer to increase is basically the criminal equivalent of microwaving one bean at a time to save electricity.
Are classic Simeon Contact Missions worth grinding in 2026? Some are. Blow Up, Chasers, and All in the Game are still decent beginner-friendly money makers with quick completion times and low complexity. Most older Simeon missions, however, are heavily outclassed by Premium Deluxe Repo Work. Rockstar essentially upgraded Simeon from “annoying repo man” to “annoying repo man with helicopters and a larger cocaine budget.”
Are Simeon missions actually worth doing over businesses and heists? On normal weeks, not really. Acid Lab, Agency work, Payphone Hits, Salvage Yard robberies, and Cluckin’ Bell all outperform Simeon grinding for raw profit. But during massive bonus weeks, Simeon missions become incredibly attractive because they require no setup cost, no businesses, no cooldowns, and no management nonsense. You simply launch a mission, steal cars, explode half the city, get paid, and repeat. Like GTA Online was always meant to be played before it accidentally became LinkedIn with assault rifles.
