Money is the name of the game inGrand Theft Auto Online, and especially early on players will need to focus all their attention on earning it. Those that have spent a considerable amount of time in the game likely have more than they know what to do with (especially after thenew Cayo Perico update), however, so it’s common for veterans to want to share that wealth to help give friends a jump start.
Grand Theft Auto Onlinedidn’t anticipate this type of benevolent behavior it seems, as there is no option to directly give cash to another player. It could be that this is an intentional decision to prevent new players from skipping too much of the grind to wealth, but that isn’t clear.

Despite this missing feature, there is a way for players to share their wealth with friends, though it’s a bit more roundabout than most would have preferred. For this to work, both players will need to be in the same game session, and they’ll need to get together andstart doing jobs around Los Santos.
After completing a job, players have the option to share a portion of their earnings with nearby players. Players need to enter their inventory, navigate to the cash button, and then select “Share Cash from Last Job.” In this menu, players can select a percentage of the cash they just earned to gift to another player. Assuming the other player also participated in the job, they’ll receive their own payout as well as a boost based on how much their friend is willing to give them.

This can be done after completingvarious game modes inGTA Online, including missions, robberies, races, and heists, but only works for the last job that the player completed. There’s still no way to just hand a friend a million dollars, and players won’t be able to give money from a mission if they move on and complete another mission before doing so. This may not be ideal, but it’s a way for new players to progress faster while still having to earn their way up to the top like veterans did.
At the moment, this is the only way to directly give money to players. There are other methods that one could use to help give their friends a boost such as placing a bounty on themselves and letting their friend kill them orgiving new players the full cut of a heist, but in terms of a direct transfer of money, this is the best bet.
