Morphology
The meaning 'a man who possesses great wealth' is directly and compositionally derived from combining the adjective 'rich' (having great wealth) with the noun 'man' (adult male). This adjective+noun pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The compound rich man is simply the words rich, meaning having much money, and man, meaning a male person. So it means 'a man who has a lot of money'.
