No. "The richer he becomes, the more famous he becomes" is possible, but it does not mean exactly the same as the original (it actually seems to make more sense). The wording of the original seems slightly odd to me, e.g. sounding as if he repeatedly becomes rich.

Ye Thu "The richer he, the more famous he", is it correct?All sentences must have a verb. That is not a sentence because it has no verb.
If you are talking about some person in the past, say:
When he became rich, he became famous.
As he became richer, he became more famous.
