Even if you don’t find it very interesting, functional programming can make you rich.

It's not used by many, but it's used by niche environments that have a lot of money, especially in Fintech. When you want your code to be extremely reliable while really fast, there's nothing like languages like OCaml or Haskell.

Top paying languages are Clojure, F#, OCaml

You don't become rich or great (and then maybe rich) by following the biggest crowd, so I don't see how your response is relevant.
