The big shots still manage to pocket quite a load, as with every business I guess. The upkeep isn't as high as you think it is, considering the salaries of all employed, the cost to maintain the servers (and they could be maintaining their own to be honest, I'm not sure how that's usually done), the property costs, etc.
Micro-sales are becoming effective, but other gaming companies still manage to make millions and millions more. You're right, the cash is somewhat small-time comparatively, but they still do good for themselves.
