Are these sentences both correct?

I would like to know if these sentences are correct:

e.g Although he is wealthy , he still lives in that old house.

Although he is a well- being man, he still lives in that old house.

However I think this is better since you have used "still lives.... Although he has become wealthy, he still lives in that old house. In the 2nd, I'm afraid I have not used the phrase well-being with the meaning rich.

Hi,

The first is correct; the second - incorrect.

Although he's wealthy / rich, he lives in that old house.

Well-being is a noun, not an adjective. It indicates the quality of life, but can't describe a person.
