Facts in this answer can change. The prompt asks the AI to look up current information. We re-test it after the next GTA Online game update, and when there's official GTA 6 news (Take-Two earnings on Nov 9, 2026, pre-load on Nov 12, launch on Nov 19, or any PC or online announcement), and by Dec 3, 2026 at the latest. We'll rewrite or retire it by Dec 3, 2026.

Search the web for current information before you answer, and don't rely on memory, since payouts, weekly bonuses and prices change often. If you can't browse the web, say so in your first line and mark every payout or price you can't verify as "unverified" instead of guessing. Starting facts, checked October 19, 2026 (confirm they're still current and correct anything that has changed): the cheapest buy-in is GTA$16,200,000 (Tongva Estate GTA$11,500,000 + Art Studio GTA$4,700,000) (community-tested); the first primary sale each week is reported at GTA$1,218,000-1,925,000 by one set of sources and GTA$1,339,800-2,117,500 by another, with later sales that week about a quarter of that (community-tested); GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026 (official).
Look up GTA 6's current official release date and say the date you checked. Count my weeks from today and say how many fall before and after GTA 6's November 19, 2026 release.
Calculate my true buy-in cost, my expected payback period in weeks (first weekly completion vs repeats), and my break-even point.
Compare that with joining other hosts' Kortz runs instead of buying in.
Cite the Mansion and Art Studio prices and payout sources. Label community payouts as COMMUNITY and projections as ESTIMATE.
Mention any active weekly Kortz bonus, with the date checked.
