My understanding is they’ve been making 30k a month from their Patreon.
Which is also the main reason they were vulnerable to a lawsuit, because they’ve been profiting off of the emulator (which why legal by itself, is only popular enough to make money due to piracy).
$2.4M is 8 years’ worth in that case, assuming they were making that much the entire time. And of course a lot of that money was probably for the devs to afford basic living expenses.
The most recent version of Yuzu (which theoretically has the best performance) is semi-locked behind their Patreon.
This was especially important when TotK came out, because they were making a bunch of tweaks to improve performance for that game. So people who wanted to play TotK needed to subscribe to get the best results (or build from source, I’m assuming).

6 years and 8 months, but yeah I can’t see them having the money, even if they saved everything.
I’m just surprised they’re able to make so much money developing free software…
