OCaml is getting that much money from quantitative finance firms &c. if you are curious. There are a not insignificant number of them that use OCaml, and it is the only time I have heard of OCaml being used.

OCaml is used for code verification tools too (Microsoft z3, CEA Frama-C, INRIA Coq, AbsInt Astree, Facebook pfff, ...) and for system programming a lot (Citrix Xen Toolstack, MLstate OPA, MyLife.com, MLdonkey, Unison, ...). If you have heard of OCaml only for finance, you have probably not searched enough.

APL programmer (rarely used outside finance, too) gets you 94 kilobucks. I guess the OCaml average contains very few samples.
