How to unlock the Big Earner achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Basically, you get 2% of whatever your Underboss' current earn is, so, what you need to do is get one of your Underboss' current earn to $500,000.
The first three starting districts (Delray Hollow, River Row, and Pointe Verdun) give $100,000 when the rackets are maxed from the delivery side missions.
The Lieutenant's districts (Tickfaw Harbor, Downtown, and Barclay Mills) give $120,000.
The Capo's districts (Frisco Fields, French Ward, and Southdowns) give $140,000.
The fastest way is you need to give one of your Underbosses: starting area, a Lieutenant's area, and two Capo's areas.
I recommend going for this on your keep one Underboss alive playthrough, unlike me and you have to do three playthroughs. facepalm
I really hope my first guide helps someone, cheers.

Doing this on my 2nd play , not doing side missions , keeping racket bosses and informants alive , 1 under boss alive it took until the 1st racket in the 7th district to push Vito over 500k

Hasn't popped for me yet so looks like you have to wait and collect the money for it to unlock.

Yes, you do have to actually wait until it says they have a kickback available, and go get it from them.

@ iAMxYUNGxGxBABY, are you using Vito? There is reports on steam about him being glitched when it comes to kickback, I'm on my 1st playthrough myself and he has glitched on me (assets say kickback is $7,200, yet I only get $4,800 from him), whereas the other 2 give the exact amount that they are supposed to. Kinda sucks as he is the only associate I want to go with for my second playthrough.

You can get this achievement near the end ish I think as long as vito has 5 or 6 districts it is enough more than $10000. There was I time I could not see how much money was there. You can see it by finishing a mission or objective and it shoud show when you pause the game on the map. Vito is not bugged at all or any of the other of the 2 bosses (Burke or Cassandra). You just need more districts and finsih vito's side missions. or whoever you chose to be with. I did this on my second playthrough with Vito being my Main man.

The achievement isn't bugged, but the kickback amount is. It's bugged as in the kickback amount given to you is lesser than the kickback amount you're supposed to get (as shown in the "Assets" menu). You'll eventually get the achievement by giving everything to one person, but you work towards getting the racket earnings to over $600,000 instead of $500,000.

I got it with Vito only. After giving 6th district to him ($635,000 earing potential I think), it seemed kickback notification was stuck on $9,100 so I picked it up. I let it idle for an hour while eating and when returned it was $10,940. Picked up that amount and cheevo popped. I also still had one Racket area/boss left to deal with.

I'm starting my 2 playthrough now. I'm killing all the racket bosses for "No Loose Ends" achievement, and also killing 15 informants for "Can not Trust the Rat" achievement. I'll assign all districts to Vito for "Big Earner" achievement, and also do all of his side missions. With that will be possible a payback of $ 10,000? Or will I have to do 3 playthrough? roll

It's harder if you kill everyone because recruiting them adds more earnings to your rackets. But I think it's still do-able. Keep doing Alma's truck delivery. When I hit $10,000 kickback, I haven't finished her quest line.

So how long does it take to have your kickback hit 10k? I feel like mine has been at $4400 with Cassandra for a while.

It's currently not working with Vito (for me) at the moment. I've $540,000 racket earnings, and a kickback of $10,800 in the "Asset" menu. When his kickback becomes available, it shows only $9,640 on the map.

I don't know if there's a delay in the kickback amount shown on map. For example, the kickback is immediately calculated based on your previous racket amount after you collect the last one. So even though you push it above $500,000 now, the latest amount may still not be available on the map. I'll wait it out and see if it works.

Alternatively, I'll continue to give Vito more rackets (still have 4 rackets to go), and do Alma's side quests (each truck you drive to her gives you $20,000+ racket earnings so if you're struggling with earnings, do these missions). Hopefully even it glitches, the kickback amount will still be over $10,000.

Note: I amassed $540,000 with 4 rackets to spare by giving every racket and district to Vito. I also did four missions for Alma. I recruited every racket informant, but killed every racket boss (needed for achievement),

In order to Unlock this achievement you must increase the earn of at least One Underboss to 500k so that you receive kickback of $10k. Check below for method if you are assigning districts evenly.

Note: This is not awarded for saving up your kickback and then collecting it when it reaches 10k. You must receive a one time kickback of at least 10k

There are various methods of increasing earn. The higher the earn the higher the kickback.

When you take over a racket you also receive bonus earn for sparing informants and racket bosses. This is a massive help and can increase the earn of one racket from 50k to 70k.

Simply taking over a racket does not mean you will earn the maximum earn for that racket. Load up the map, hover over the racket and it will tell you how much that racket is making and what the maximum is. Eg if you are earning 50k but the maximum is 70k then you will need to a side mission which permanantly increases the earn of a racket. For Cassandra the side Mission is "Are We Cool", Burke "The Righteously Fucked" & Vito "Seems Simple Enough".

If you are evenly distributing the districts amongst the underbosses then you can still earn this achievement by completing the following method.

The Method
This method will only work if you have been sparing and recruiting informants/racket bosses.

When you reach the final district in the game you should have two underbosses who control 3 districts each & One Underboss who controls two districts.

When you begin taking over rackets in the final district assign them instead to an underboss who already controls 3 districts, preferably the underboss with the highest earn. You only need to assign the rackets NOT the district as a whole.

Now begin completing the Racket side Missions. I chose Burke which required me deliver Trucks of Booze to his rackets. Scroll over the rackets of your underboss and whichever has the lowest earn then make sure you make the delievery to that racket. (Usually every 20k delivery will increase your kickback by $200-300.

The three districts I assigned to Burke were Frisco Fields, Point Verdun & Tickfaw Harbor
The two rackets I assigned him were in French ward (However I did not assign him this district).

Once all of the rackets were at max earn the kickback was exactly 10k.
When the Kickback reaches 10k you then need to wait for a payment, once it has been collected the achievement will pop.

Now Complete the final mission of the district and at the sit down assign the district to your underboss with 2, so that each has three. The rackets will then be taken off your chosen underboss so make sure that you have the achievement.

Tip: Rather than completing the racket side missions in one sitting, chose an Underboss early on who you are going to max out, then beginning do one of the racket missions whenever you have a chance. Saves a lot of boredom

Yeah you will be able to do it. I read that it will take 6 districts. I would start doing the side missions asap.

LoL I don't think Fooga actually read your solution... or it's a joke.

Hey Cooper great solution knowing that you can give rackets to anyone and then doing the district mission can pass onto someone else and then they get the rackets so not screwing you out of loyalty or anything is extremely good info for this achievement. All I needed to know! Thanks dude!

I've got Burke to 529,000. On the map the kickback for Burke says 9,000. When I press start and click on 'Associates' it says 10,400 kickback for Burke. So I collected my kickback and only got 9,000. I have no way of earning anymore as everything is full and all the side missions are done. Don't know if it's a glitch or whether it will go to 10,400 next time I play. I hope so!

I can clarify that when I went back to the game the kickback built back up and Burke's was at 10,400 and the achievement popped

Save this trophy for when you are going to give all districts to one underboss. They will pull in over 10,000 without the need to do any of the side missions. Just pick the kickback up from your chosen survivor when it reaches $10,000.

Missable!

You'll need to obtain $10,000 earn in one go from a single Underboss. The amount is not cumulative. In order to maximize earn from a single Underboss, you should attempt this during your "Kill playthrough" in conjunction with Just You and Me where your chosen Underboss will be able to hit $10,000 Earn easily after assigning all district to him/her.

To check how much kickback that the Underboss can give at the moment, you can have a look at the Assets page in the menu, on the top right corner of each Asset. You will receive a notification in game when the kickback is ready for collection, or alternatively just their HQ icon on the map. When it shows $10,000 over more, head over to their HQ to collect it.
