He seems rich or He seems to be rich

Is the first sentence also correct? Is it ok to delete‘to be’ ? as rich is using to describe how you think about the subject ?

Thanks!!

Answer

Either is fine.  It's okay to drop the "to be".

Answer

Both sentences are correct dear.

Answer

Both are correct in this context, because ‘rich’ is an adjective. But when the sentence ends with a noun, you can only use seem to be. 
For example: He seems to be a teacher. 
Not: He seems a teacher.
