Tenured professors in most universities have eight years of education under their belt, many years of professional experience, plus research and published literature. While there may be some professors who achieve such status without doing any of this, for the most part, these are people who have put in a lot of work into getting where they are.

My advisor doesn't even stay past noon
I know several (not tenured yet) who got hired right out of their masters
That said, most don't make as much as mentioned, but at best it's a part time job and MANY get paid too much for the little they do (and the poor teachers the are)
I don't want to be one, but I'll likely teach a couple online classes in about 4 years to add to the resume.
What's criminal is the number of VP's and THEIR PAY!!!
We don't make anywhere close to that amount in my neck of the woods. I would actually be making more teaching high school, and that's not saying much. lol
Oh, and if someone is tenure track and doing the required research/publications and service (in addition to the teaching), it is NOT part time hours. It might seem like it because we aren't sitting at our desk 40 hours a week, but believe me, we are working.

where do you go to school that has tenure track professors who only have a masters?

No she's not.
I'm a nontraditional student and actually older than her.
We talk.
She plays with her kid, this week she is raising a baby bunny etc...
Yes, some people work quite a bit.
Many... as I said. Don't.
(Oh, there are teaching schools and there are research schools, so what you outlined is only part of the equation. I may not be a teacher, but my parents met as college Professors, and there are many educators in the family, I have something like a clue.)
They want YOU to keep shelling out tens of thousands for their wisdom. You might get a career or you might not but this is what they're getting at one notable school guaranteed (because of tenure)! The first number is the median, the second the mean, the third the standard deviance.
College of Arts & Sciences

9 Mo. Professor $115,000 $120,076 $27,926
Associate $79,000 $81,280 $9,775
Your tuition does not go directly to the profs. If you take, for example, Art History, and pay, let's say $2,500 to take that course for the semester, that money does not go directly into the prof's pocket. Tuition largely goes into the paying of running the school, maintenance, and the school's general fund. Profs are paid out of the general fund.
