Richman

For the district in the Grand Theft Auto 1 rendition of San Andreas, see Richman (2D Universe). For the neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, see Richman (3D Universe).

"Not a lot happens in Richman aside from out-of-touch billionaires hiding behind high walls, too terrified to leave their mega-mansions for fear of having to interact with the common man."

Richman, like neighboring Rockford Hills, is known as being one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in all of Los Santos. It contains many large classic-style mansions and is the location of GTA V's "Playboy Mansion". Richman's name was chosen for this reason. Sports cars, high-end clothing, and the occasional limousine transporting a wealthy person are seen frequently.

Richman is mostly a residential area, which explains the lack of businesses. The residents in Richman live in fine mansions well-suited to their lifestyle. It is said that Vinewood celebrities come here for the golf course and are even living here. The Los Santos Country Club is the only golf course in the entire city, making it a popular recreation area.

Most of Richman consists of the country club. To the north and northeast, there are luxurious mansions sold by famous realtor companies like Lenny Avery. To the northwest, there is a large mansion that stands out amongst the others, based on the Playboy Mansion. People can be seen partying in the Playboy Mansion's swimming pool along with some topless women. The topless women are what attract many people.

Events of GTA V

Trivia

The name is perhaps a homage to the district of Richman of the City of San Andreas in the original Grand Theft Auto or Richman in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which was also based on Bel Air.
- With the inclusion of Richman in the HD Universe version of San Andreas, this makes this district the only one in the series to be featured in all three universes.
The name is also a reference to the fact that wealthy people live in the district.
The name could be a play on Richmond, California, although Richmond is no where near L.A.
