Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish industrialist, businessman,
entrepreneur, and a major philanthropist. He is one of the most famous captains
of industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He built Pittsburgh's
Carnegie
Steel Company, which was later merged with several companies to create U.S. Steel.
With the fortune he made from business, he later turned to philanthropy and interests in
education, founding the
Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie
Museums of Pittsburgh.

Carnegie gave away most of his money to establish many libraries,
schools, and universities in America, the United Kingdom and other countries,
as well as a pension fund for former employees. He is often regarded as the
second-richest man in history after John D. Rockefeller.

and also in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland,
Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies, and Fiji.
