How can the bank pay for the interest?

Let’s say that I have $100 in my bank account, and the yearly interest is 5%. Which means that in two years, I will have $110. Am I correct? The question is, where does the extra $10 came from, and who pay for it? $10 doesn’t seem to be much, but when it comes to Bill Gates’s account; who pay for that money?
