The dollar numbers being talked about in the article are kind of stunning, for a website that dropped off my radar more than a decade ago. Who are all these people with all that much money and where are they getting it from??

You are giving too much credit to your internet usage preference and its relation to a company being relevant and successful.
Yahoo is still the 4th largest internet property. It has more than half a billion unique visitors monthly.
Similar sentiments here.

Those numbers are likely to reflect something, but the fact that Yahoo is so irrelevant to geeks and highly self-aware Internet users is a good sign that their position is very unstable. Somehow reminds of Microsoft gradually sliding into irrelevance (while still generating some dollars) for geeks first, and then for everyone else.
