While it is true, in some abstract sense, that no one owns the entire Internet, every piece of it is owned by someone. There are a number of large telecommunications companies (so-called "backbone providers") whose networks are responsible for routing traffic over long distances. These companies "own" the Internet in that sense.
You pay for domain names because it costs money to maintain the DNS servers that allow your domain name to function. You pay this fee to a domain registrar, a company (or, outside the United States, perhaps a government agency) that provides this service.
