I think you could word these sentences like this;

Tommo wrote:he is 3 times richer than me: เขารวยสามเท่ากว่าผม


"เ้ขารวยกว่าผมสามเท่า"

Tommo wrote:this is 5 times more expensive than that: นี้แพงห้าเท้ากว่านั้น


"นี่แพงกว่านั้นห้าเท่า"

Sorry, not quite. At least from the grammar stand point, and if you really read into the sentence, it could have different meaning.

The word กว่า is equivalent to "more than". If you put it in a different place it could mean a little different, ie. five times more than,
more than five times; three years more than, more than three years.
Further, the word กว่า must follow the modifier immediately and it should be followed by another noun to form a comparative adverb ie. hotter, faster, better, sooner, later etc.

example, Today is hotter and yesterday three times. (literally)
