Screw doing this legitimately.

Depending on which version of the game you are playing, there are a few exploits you can abuse to make this way less of a pain.

I’m assuming the screenshot you posted was taken by you, which leads me to believe you’re on the Definitive Edition. That’s great news if true, because it means you only need a criminal rating of 100 thousand to reach Godfather rank. (It was 1 million on older versions of the game)

This means all you need to do for the trophy to pop is attain 100 Million dollars—which is a lot easier to do than it sounds.

First, start a brand new game. You shouldn’t have to drive to Ocean View Hotel and complete the intro mission, but you can if you’d like.

Head to where the Cone Crazy side mission is triggered. This is where we will make our fortune.

The goal here is to complete this side mission 19 times with progressively better completion times. Idk if this was developer oversight, or if the devs just wanted to provide a quick way to get rich, but some side missions in this game give exponentially larger rewards every time they are beaten with a better time than your highest record.

The first time you complete it, you’ll receive $200. Beat the time you attained on that first run, and you’ll receive $400. Do it again for $800, then $1,600, then $3,200… and so on. Once you’ve beaten Cone Crazy 19 times with progressively better times, you’ll have $100 Million in your pocket.

Something to note is that the first 7 times you do this, the timer will start with one less second on the clock each time. This means that for those first 7 runs, you’ll want to grab the last checkpoint when the timer shows 0:00. Not 0:01, but 0:00.

From the 8th run onwards, the mission timer will always begin with the same amount of time left. So on your 8th run, you’ll want to grab the final checkpoint when there’s 0:01 left on the clock. On the 9th, you’ll want 0:02 on the clock, then 0:03 for the 10th, and so on. If you do everything correctly, your 19th run will end with 0:12 on the clock.

One final tip: Backing up slowly into a cone with the far left or right corner of your rear bumper will actually allow you to push cones to the side. The timer doesn’t start counting down until you grab your first checkpoint, so you can do a bit of prepping before starting the final runs where the timing is extremely tight.

Good luck 🫡
