Solution
The most appropriate pair to fill in the blanks in the sentence "Despite being extremely ______, he is a very ______ person." would be "pecunious . . . unassuming".
This is because the word "pecunious" means having a lot of money, and "unassuming" means not pretentious or arrogant. So the sentence would read: "Despite being extremely pecunious, he is a very unassuming person." This makes sense as it is saying that even though the person has a lot of money, they are not arrogant or pretentious.
