Title -  Andrew Carnegie

 

Description -  Andrew Carnegie (November 25, 1835 - August 11, 1919), Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century.  He built a leadership role as a philanthropist for the United States and the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away to charities, foundations, and universities about $350 million (in 2015 share of GDP, $78.6 billion) – almost 90 percent of his fortune.  His 1889 article proclaiming "The Gospel of Wealth" called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, and it stimulated a wave of philanthropy.
