Heist 1: The Jewel Store Job
 
On the first heist, the Jewel Store Job, choose Option B (Smart).
 
 
Take Rickie Lukens as your hacker. Other hackers may give you more time, but he will give you the perfect amount of time for this heist.
 
 
As for your gunman, you should unlock ♥♥♥♥♥♥ McReary by completing his optional encounter. It is a random event in which he robs a store and needs help getting away. Once you help him, you can choose him for heists. He is just as good as Gustavo Mota, but hiring him is 2% cheaper. If you take Norm Richards as your gunman instead, he will crash during the getaway. You can grab his money by driving over his bag after the crash, which will give you more money, but you will lose Norm.
 
 
Take Karim Denz as your driver. The chase sequence will be more difficult, but he takes less of your money.
 
 
If you choose Option A instead, take Eddie Toh as your driver. He takes 6% more than Karim Denz, but will allow you to get $4,946,153 (the highest possible amount), which will leave you with $1,076,304 for Michael and $293,539 for Franklin, significant increases over the amounts you will get if you take Karim Denz along for Option A.
 
 
Score: Your total take should be a shade under $5 million with around $1.2 million going to Michael and just under $300K going to Franklin.
