"He' probably staying in a fancy hotel and even if he isn't, he's still living better than I am."
I think "still" in this sentence is used as the meaning of " much'.
If so, the right order has to be "he's living still better". What's your opinion? |

He's still living better than I am.
This means that he was living better than me in the past and continues to live better than me now.
You're correct. If you change the word order and put "better still" it would mean even better.
