If you're looking for a dramatic success story in which one company is 
100% about semantic web technology and then makes a million dollars, 
here's one: http://www.dataversity.net/experian-acquires-garlik-ltd/

Companies such as TopQuadrant, Franz, and Cambridge Semantics are doing 
just fine, and more importantly, their customers are doing quite well 
using this technology. I think the more interesting thing to look at is 
the number of well-known companies that while not devoting themselves 
100% to this technology, are still getting more and more work done with 
it: http://www.snee.com/bobdc.blog/2014/05/experience-in-sparql-a-plus.html

It's been interesting to see different divisions of Bloomberg joining 
these ranks lately.
