From what I understand, bettas can live up to 5 years [though 3 is average]. Many never even live that long, but that is mainly due to folks keeping them in those little goldfish bowls. Can't remember where I read it, but remember reading that a betta can be kept with other fish but needs plenty of greenery and other hidey hole areas to go to if another fish starts to pick on it.
