The range of all professors I have had, from available records and my memories, range from $140K to 62K, most for 9 months of work and tenured. The biggest number in the pdf file is 400K for 9 months and the smallest is 4K for a recent grad student - probably a stipend. This also neglects any other jobs they have such as medical professors that also have a medical practice (said 400K person is one of these).
