The path to tenure is publish or perish. I don't know specific hour commitments, but at an R1 university, you're looking at 4-7 years of long hours with a risk that you won't get tenure. And unless you bring in BIG money or work in a super HCOL area, you probably won't ever make 200k/year.

4-7 for the PhD alone, plus a few more years as a postdoc, plus the run-up to tenure (another 4-5 years).
None of these are particularly stable or relaxing.
