Stanford publishes their 2022 faculty average 9-month salaries - $192K, starting at $97K for a lecturer to $268K for full professor. They can add another 30% if they teach in the summer or have research grants for the summer. And they can spend 20% time consulting with no salary limit. Palo Alto is a very high cost of living area.

Many professors at Stanford make their big money by being consultants or starting a side research lab, taking paid research gigs. And book deals.

Stanford is in San Francisco, so I assume that you can find those lecturers living in a van down by the river.
