Morphology
The meaning 'a person who has a great deal of money, property, or other assets' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'wealthy' (possessing significant financial resources) with 'person' (a human individual). This adjective+noun compositional pattern is standard and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase wealthy person comes from the old word wealth, which originally meant 'well-being' or 'goods', and person, which means someone. So a wealthy person is literally someone who has a lot of wealth or money, which is why it means 'a rich person'.
