Like if someone invents a product or machine or something, they pay money to get a patent to the patent office of the United States, but then where does that money go? There’s got to be trillions of dollars that has been collected if every product for sale is patented right?

The money for patents mostly goes to two places. Government administration to cover the costs of filing, and on legal professionals like lawyers who charge money for the service of registering intellectual property including trademarks, copyrights and patents. Therefore, to answer your question, the money goes primarily to law firms specialising in IP.
