Morphology
The meaning 'a child from a wealthy family' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rich' (wealthy) with 'kid' (a young person). This simple adjective + noun composition follows normal English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Rich kid comes from the simple picture of a kid who is rich, shown with fancy clothes, new gadgets, or a big house. So it is used to mean a 'child from a wealthy family'.
