Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie is a Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist. Carnegie led the expansion of America's steel industry in the late 19th century and became one of the richest Americans in history. He became a prominent philanthropist in the United States and the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he donated about $ 350 million to charities, foundations and universities - nearly 90% of his fortune. His 1889 article proclaiming the "The Gospel of Wealth" called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society and spark a wave of philanthropy. Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848 at the age of 12. Carnegie began working as a telegraph operator, and by the 1860s invested in railroads, carriages, bridges and docks. He amassed new wealth as a bond seller, raising money for an American company in Europe.
