Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) rose from working-class origins in Scotland to become one of the great titans of American industry, whose holdings included railroads, oil, and finally Carnegie Steel. By the time he sold his steel works in 1901 and retired, he was the richest man in the world. He became a renowned philanthropist, giving away more than $350 million to endow public libraries and universities and to other charitable causes.
