Best way to reach the $1 trillion

Some people may wonder what the benefit of doing a boss fight again might be. This is the best way to fully maximize your energy if you are about ready to level up and you find yourself with spare energy. Furthermore, if you follow our recommendations, and have a large amount of cash on hand ...... it can also be the best way to reach the $1 trillion (and beyond) achievements).


How the Agostino Cleto boss fight works (as far as #'s)...
● Energy Cost = 20% of total energy (1900 x 20
% = 380)
● Cash Payout = 0.18% of total cash on hand ($2,357,468,675,098 x 0.18% = $4,243,443,615)
● Experience Recevied = 1.4x of Energy Cost (380 x 1.4 = 532).


In this screen shot person only needed 10 experience to level up. Instead of doing a job which would reward 144-200 experience, He chose to do the boss fight which awarded me 532 experience. You cannot carry over unused energy into next level, but you can carry over extra experience.


Best Ways to Earn Cash:


  • Job: Make Arrangements for a Visiting Don (New York - Boss tier)
    this is the job where the majority of your energy should be spent when you are actively working towards this achievement. If you need 1.4 XP/Energy ratio or less to level, you may get a better Cash/Energy return by doing the Agostino Cleto boss fight (that is largely dependent upon how much total energy you have and total cash on hand).
  • Job: Make Arrangements for a Visiting Don (New York - Boss tier)

  • Boss Fight: Agostino Cleto (New York - Enforcer tier)
    This boss fight is the ONLY aspect in the game that scales positively for accumulating cash. What do we mean by that ...? This means that the MORE cash that you have on hand, the MORE cash that you receive from winning this boss fight (this can easily be observed based upon the screenshot below ... cash on hand = $1,199,898,257,596 | Boss Fight Payout = $2,159,816,864).

  • Using Stamina to Rob
    This is probably obvious using stamina to rob instead of fight to generate more cash. I plan on writing a more detailed note regarding this topic specifically but for now will include a couple pointers here.

    • Check the person's profile page for Robbing Defense boosts BEFORE you rob them. I normally skip people that have 2 or more different kinds of robbing boosts. If they have a lot of casinos and multiple boosts, sometimes I'll use stamina to knock off their boosts when I don't need the XP from that stamina.
      If they have Robbing Defense boosts, and you want to try robbing them to wear their boosts off ... rob their LEAST expensive property (Restaurants, etc) to wear the boosts off. This will cost you minimal $ from losing due to their boosts.

    • Create a list of people that have 300+ Casinos. Why 300+ casinos ...? At ~300 casinos, each stamina from robbing their casinos gives ~$1 million. I personally use this strategy ... however I try to limit robbing each person to only once a week off of this list.


  • Formula for amount received PER Successful Heist
    $135,000 + (# of Casinos x $3,000)

    Example:
    $135,000 + (300 Casinos x $3,000) = $1,035,000 received PER successful heist

  • DO NOT bank your money
    Before you even think of trying to achieve the $1 trillion achievement you should be able to cash flow at least $1 billion a day (either from jobs, Mafia Mikes, robbing). $1 bil/day is VERY easy to reach. Lets take a look at how much it really costs you to bank your money ...
    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    $1 billion x 10% bank fee = $100,000,000 bank fee

    If you are worried about people attacking you and getting your money ...

    $100,000,000 / $100,000 lost from each fight = 1,000 fights
    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    Do you really lose 1,000 fights a day? For most people this is an obvious NO!! And this is using a lowly $1 billion day income. Most people that are realistically in a place where they can start working on the $1 trillion achievement are easily able to cash flow $10-20 billion a day (or more). I personally get over $2 billion for EACH boss fight I do.

  • Heal in Cuba
    Most people that are able to work on this achievement have lots of pesos sitting there in Cuba with nothing really worth

  • List of Robbing Defense Boosts:
    • Hobo Lookout [+60] - available from re-vaulting Beards Collection

    • Motion Detector [+37] - available from re-vaulting Paintings Collection. Can also be obtained through the "Free Boost" page from a mafia member.

    • Bouncer [+27] - available from re-vaulting Billiards Collection. Can also be obtained through the "Free Boost" page from a mafia member.

    • Alarm System [+15] - available from re-vaulting Sculptures Collection. Can also be obtained through the "Free Boost" page from a mafia member.

    • Mutt [+5] - available from the Inventory -> Boosts Page for $2,000,000 each. 20 Can be purchased per day, up to 100 max. Currently you can gift these mutts and have more than 100 total if received from a gift.

    Having at least 1 of each of these Robbing Defense boosts could prevent a lot of robbery attempts from most everyone except the very determined robbers.
