Rockstar is running a week of Money Fronts bonuses on GTA Online, from May 28 to June 3, 2026. The Higgins Helitours front is free, earnings climb up to 5X, and the Hands On Car Wash drops to half its launch price. Here is the full rundown, and how to cash in before the event ends.

Money Fronts, laundering the Los Santos way

For latecomers, a quick recap. Money Fronts is the update that arrived on June 17, 2025, turning money laundering into a full-time job in GTA Online. It all starts with a tip from Mexican kingpin Martin Madrazo: you pick up the Hands On Car Wash, a vintage car wash in Strawberry that fronts for a much larger network. The station pulls in passive income from your criminal empire and unlocks two side fronts, the Smoke on the Water dispensary and the Higgins Helitours air tour outfit, which also boost your Weed Farm and Air Freight Cargo businesses.

The system’s big twist is Heat: these businesses draw the attention of the authorities, and you bring it back down by running legitimate operations. Too much Heat and the business seizes up. Money Fronts brought a fresh economic loop, halfway between running a company and pulling a con, perfect for anyone who has worn out the classic heists.

What the week of May 28 to June 3 pays out

The centerpiece of the event is a flat-out gift: the Higgins Helitours front, usually $900,000, is free for every Hands On Car Wash owner. Just own the car wash, then claim the outfit through the business computer and Maze Bank Foreclosures before June 3. That completes the network without spending a dollar.

On the multiplier side, the week is generous. Here is the rundown of boosted earnings.

Bonus Activity
5X GTA$ and RPLamar contact missions
4X GTA$ and RPMoney laundering missions
2X GTA$ and RPLaundered Income at the Hands On Car Wash, Mr. Faber Work, Transform Races, The Fine Art File, Community Combat Series
$100,000Weekly challenge: 3 Hands On Car Wash legal missions

In plain terms, Lamar contact missions become the best fast farm of the week, while the 4X on laundering rewards players who already built their network. If you are just starting out, we break down the most profitable loops in our guide to making money on GTA Online.

The discounts worth grabbing

Now is the time to build the empire on the cheap. The Hands On Car Wash, the mandatory entry point of the system, drops to $600,000 from $1,000,000, a 40% cut. The Smoke on the Water dispensary gets the same discount, at $510,000 from $850,000. Paired with the free Higgins Helitours, the three fronts of the Money Fronts network come together this week for the price of a single one at full cost.

Rockstar also throws in a selection of vehicles at 30% off, including the Terrorbyte and the Cavalcade XL, alongside the usual Diamond Casino, LS Car Meet and Gun Van rotations. The window is short: it all ends on June 3.

Should you jump in now?

If you had never touched Money Fronts, then yes, no question. A $600,000 entry ticket plus a free front is one of the best chances since the update dropped to set up a solid passive income. And if you prefer the adrenaline to the balance sheet, ride the 5X on Lamar before diving back into our ranking of the best heists.

That leaves the question on everyone’s mind: will this kind of passive empire return in GTA VI? Nothing official from Rockstar, but businesses have become the economic backbone of GTA Online, and it is hard to picture the sequel without a modernized version. In the meantime, the Money Fronts event is a good reason to get back in before Grand Theft Auto VI lands.
