How to unlock the A Lot of Cheddar achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide
This achievement is extremely straight forward; just keep purchasing weapons, vehicle mods, properties, and stocks in order to gain progress towards the $200 million mark. Purchasing properties will be extremely costly; however, the advantage to owning multiple properties at once is that your weekly income will net you a substantial amount of cash which can then be used to buy other items. As for stocks, you will want to invest your money in profitable companies, then sell your share(s) a few days later if they have made profit.
One of the quickest methods in obtaining this achievement is as follows. After you have collected your share of money from the "Big Score" mission, you should have around $20 million per each character. Pick any character and invest all of your money in any stock market. Now immediately sell all your stocks to get all the money back. If you do this ten times, the achievement will unlock in a short amount of time because investing money in the stock market counts as spending money for the achievement. A huge thanks goes to DavoK87 and x S 7 R I K E Z for discovering this method!

Luckily there is an extremely easy way of spending $200 million. Open your mobile phone with , then choose "Internet" and select the "Money and Services" tab. Open the LCN stock exchange website and invest all of your money in the stocks of any company in the list (the more expensive the stock, the quicker it will be to buy them all) under the "Markets" tab. You can do this by selecting "Buy" then hovering your cursor over the green "+" symbol and holding down until you have spent all your money. Press "Buy" again then "Confirm" and finally "Continue" to complete the transaction. As soon as you have done so, choose "Sell All" and "Confirm" to sell all the stocks back again and get your money back. Repeat the process as many times as necessary until you have "spent" $200 million. You won't lose any money if you sell the stocks quick enough, but it still counts towards the spending for the trophy.
Here is a video showing this method:
By far the best way of making money in the game is to take advantage of company stocks with Lester's assassination missions. Before you undertake each assassination mission, swap between all three characters and purchase as many stocks as you can from the following companies:
Hotel Assassination - Betta Pharmaceuticals (BAWSAQ stocks)
Multi-Target Assassination - Debonaire (LCN stocks)
Vice Assassination - Fruit (BAWSAQ stocks)
Bus Assassination - Vapid (BAWSAQ stocks)*
Construction Assassination - GoldCoast (LCN stocks)
*This mission is slightly different as you should buy the stocks just after the mission when prices plummet, they will rise again soon after.
After waiting a few in-game days, sell all of the stocks of these companies which each character and you will make a huge profit. This is because the assassination missions have you take out certain competitors of the above-mentioned companies, which will greatly boost up their market value. For a more detailed description of this method, see the following thread: How To Make Up To 1.5 Billion With Lester's Assassination Missions
PS did this on PS 4, trophy + 200,000,000 in 10 minutes
PS: you can collect items and raise money from each character along the way.
So far, the found method is when Lester gives tasks to Franklin to kill, ignore them until the end of the plot, by the end of the game you will have around 20 million, when completing the task, Lester will say which shares will become more expensive, invest all 20 lyams in this company and after the mission we sell the shares, the increase is around 30%)
You can also use this method at the very beginning of the game, since at this stage there is very little money.
