Rich partners, of course, will continue to have secretaries because they want to have someone to organize their day for them. And so it has always been- you're rich, you get to have servants.
It's not about being rich and getting the "servants" it's about having an established and busy practice (something the young and/or new attorney would not have) that requires one or more people to help you manage it.
