Mafia III: How to Make Money

Hideouts

As you progress through Mafia III’s story and unlock more hideouts while taking over more districts, the hideouts themselves will become like businesses. They will become a source of renewable income that you will receive periodically. This money can then be used to improve your weapons, vehicles, buy ammo and other items, and do whatever you need it to do.

This will be earned over time, so while it is guaranteed money after a while, you’ll have to put in the leg work to make it happen. A good idea is to play through a large chunk of the story first before trying to save up large quantities of money in New Bordeaux.
