I'm trying to understand what they actually did.

I can understand how the founders of big companies like FaceBook, Google etc have made their money.
We've always had entrepreneurs who have succeeded in the world, whether it was the industrial revolution, the financial area, service industries or the dot com era
Can you give us an example of someone you have in mind who has made millions from dotcom?
Take the smartphone app called Vines.

This was created by 3 guys and just before it was due to launch Twitter paid 30 million dollars for the company.

If you can get the right "app" it does not need to have made any money to be worth millions.

Nowadays having people registered for your web site or app can be worth millions.

Facebook bought Whatsapp for millions when it was a free app and did not carry any advertising, so why did they do that?

But of course the guys who created Whatsapp made millions and are now dot com millionaires.
How Martha Lane Fox (now Baroness Lane-Fox of Soho) and Brent Hoberman made their millions by founding Lastminute.com and floating a large shareholding on the stock market before the share price crashed:
