One might point out that you don't find nearly as many rabbis as priests and preachers in rural areas. The COL is going to pull their average up since so many rabbis are located in urban areas.
But there's certainly individuals who make a lot or at least could if they want to. The preachers at megachurches probably have the opportunity to make a ridiculous amount of money, and the same goes for the rebbe of a Hasidic community.
