I never understand what happens to the money in things like this... I mean who gets how much of that money?

I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine that since their aim is to buy a big part of the company's shares, the money would go to some of Yahoo's shareholders (how much each one gets depends on how many shares they sell to Microsoft).
