Morphology

super-rich = rich (transparent) = super + rich

The meaning is directly compositional: 'super-' intensifies 'rich' to mean extremely rich.

Etymology

Super-rich comes from the prefix super- meaning 'above' and rich meaning 'wealthy'. So the super-rich are the people who are 'more than rich' and have far more money than most people.
