Why are some stocks valued in the 1000s of dollars like Amazon and Google when they pay no dividends?

Their earning per share is around $5-20 a share. Why are they worth that much if you're not getting much out of owning these stocks?

If you look at Amazon, their total asset is $131,310,000,000 for 2017 and they have 285,850,780 total shares, their asset/shares is only $459.35 yet the stock is worth around $2000.

Edited: google EPS is around $20 not $15.
