How do dictators get most of their money and wealth?

Question by : How do dictators get most of their money and wealth?
When Presidents become dictators and get extreme wealth, how is it that they get it?

Do they print extreme amounts of money and put it into bank accounts for themselves without the people knowing. The money wouldn’t be in circulation so there would be no inflation. Is this the way that they do it?

And if so, is there a world organization that can stop a country from printing extreme amounts of money? I have just always been curious about those sorts of things.
