To start The Contract, players have to buy an Agency building, a high-end office where they can meet with similarly high-end clients. And to meet the expectations of any celebrity, millionaire, or musician, players will have to spend upwards of $2 million.

There are four Agency buildings in total for players to purchase, with three set close to each other around Little Seoul and the last located in Downtown Vinewood Come from
