Title: How did YOU get rich?
Post by: MadOne on June 02, 2010, 11:46:14 am
This topic is mainly aimed for newbies, it helps them become wealthy ingame instead of cheating money/rulebreaking. Here, each individual can post their story on how they got rich, and maybe your tips could help them.


I started of with $10,000. Just like anybody else. I bought my MUST HAVES (Phone/Radio/GPS). One day, i got on when there was over 100 people online, as i logged in, a new thing popped onto my screen. It was a lotto, i followed the instructions and purchased a lotto ticket using /lotto. I had won 130k from it. From there on i started purchasing and selling properties and vehicles. Although you cannot sell vehicles to players in the new car system, your always free to sell properties.

Conclusion: Get on regularly, purchase lotto tickets, and you may have a chance.

Worked three months for my first car back in the start of RS3. Sold the car for a small profit and soon I was able to purchase a better car for myself. Kept selling cars for a small profit until had money for a tiny house in the countryside. After working another month or so I sold my first house, again for profit and then bought a better house. Took a $300k loan from the bank system which existed and bought a business. Sold both of my properties for profit. Bought a better car and a house, sold again for a small profit. Kept doing this for a quite a long time, while winning two lottery. One $1 one and one $100,000 one. Bought a nice house, a car and a business. Made few K's with the business until selling it for profit.

A year or so later, I had $3 millions gathered to afford an Ammunation. Bought one from northern Las Venturas, but found out it didn't made such a good profit than I though. Sold it with loss, bought a 24/7 from Commerce for $1,5 millions, after few months I sold it for less than $1 million. By this time, I had around $2,5 millions left. During the next two weeks I spent $2,4 millions on events and giving them to new and willing roleplayers when I realized that all I had was money, which I had no use for anymore.

In short; being a real estate agent. Just take this warning, make friends rather than money.

Post by: David_Omid on June 02, 2010, 01:13:52 pm
In RS3 lotteries occurred a lot less

Therefore the prizes were pretty big

I won the lottery once and got around 300k. This was the most amount of money that I had ever had. I used it to buy some things, and then sold those things for a lot more money.

E.G - bought a Stretch for 7k, sold for 510k

Bought an ammunation for 300k, sold for 2.2 million

Started with 10k like everyone else, bought my radio and my phone ect... Worked for my friend Kent Ancelotti (Rob_Corleone) and earned 100k, I loaned a further 300k from him to purchase my first business. I sold it for 20k profit, and bought an elegy.. made around 100k on that and continued buying and selling till I had enough to give Kent his loan back (took around a week). I've made some really good deals in my time, and now I'm known to be worth around $15million in under a year of activity.

In 07 I made a few millions as a cop ..we used to earn shitloads of cash by killing a suspect. Around 4000 for a killed guy.
Then I randomly abused /suspect and killed AFKing fools to earn more cash.

Then in 0.2.2, Legend gave me shitloads of money, we also made a lot of money with Belov and SOA - Good times.

Now ..I'm just getting a few 100k here and there.

I never won a lotto and I never win events.
I just keep losing more money everyday till one day then I will be poor.
And with the new car system is much harder to earn new money and the drugs got lowered.
For me it is not possible to earn money coz i never win lotto and never win a DD or an event... other people do.

I had a long conversation with ryan regarding you ripping him off, Apparently when he asked for the assets that he had given you back you refused him even though he gave them to you out of kindness and friendship. He wasn't returned anywhere near the values of those assets, so I wouldn't be surprised if you'd also done it to Jerry aswell.

Hmm, You are only telling the half of the story with Ryan, And it is already solved with Ryan, And i got to that solve.

About Jerry, I never had any financial business with Jerry, I never had any contact with him either, I only know him from Stracci.

Replace "child" with "noob", "god" with "sauron" (lol), "stole" with "hack" and there it goes.


Never won any lotto/event or shit. Used to deal things, got my first million with it. But I had got rich mostly by hacking, reached a few millions. Don't have anything atm tho, got admin-raided.

Well when I joined with 10k I grew weed on duty till I made about 100k. I later starting finding unowned cars with the old car system and sold them. Then I kept selling and buying car and other properties. I got into drug dealing again by buying weed less and selling it for more. One day someone sold me under water world for 50k and I sold it for 500k. I bought Willowfield cluckin' bell 600k and sold it 715k. Then I made money from other RP's and some lottos (not /lotto ones, the ones other people did). I participated in DD's and kill the ghost events. So yea I been on Argonath for about 6 months and I made about 3 million. But remember its not about the moeny.

I actually began living in Argonath with only $10,000. Then someone scammed me and I was back down to $0. From there, a friend named Johnny Gvardia helped me get started in the drug business. I earned around $20,000 that way. Then he introduced me to realty. I sold my first business with a profit of $180,000. I just started to move up from there. After awhile, I got bored and began search for unowned vehicles. I found a Maverick(and I sold it for $750,000) Then I bought a Turismo for $100,000 and sold it for $900,000.

After that, I began to loan money to people and some of it, I never got back. After that, I began doing jobs and artwork for topics and got my self to $1,000,000. Then I gave it all away.

Then I began to do little jobs again and earned around $70,000. I bought another house that was unowned and sold it for a good profit amount. Next thing I know, I got $700,000 in my bank. I bought a good house in Marina, with a dock. I bought a Raindance, a car, and a boat. Now, I got $2,000 in my bank and not carrying about anything:]

This all happened in one year of Argonath:]
