Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835 in Dunfermine, Fife, Scotland; this was the birth of one of the "richest Americans in history"(wiki). Andrew Carnegie was known first for his steel-manufacturing company called "Carnegie Steel Company"(wiki#2). Andrew was later known as a philanthropist to go with his prior title as an industrialist. Andrew was known as a philanthropist because he gave away "$350 million in 1919 to charities, foundations and universities"(wiki#1) and according to wikipedia, $350 million in 1919 is the same as 5.3 billion in 2019. Andrew was a very prosperous man who gave back much of his earnings which I highly respect; although Andrew was a great man, he eventually died on August 11, 1919 at 83 years old in Lenox Massachusetts, United States of America.

Cornelius Vanderbilt was born on May 27, 1794 on Staten Island, NY. Cornelius, also known as "The Commodore"(wiki) was a business magnate who made himself very rich through the railroads and ships. Cornelius was a great investor in his time and eventually became 'known for his ownership of the New York Central Railroad'(wiki). Cornelius was so good at making money that his net-worth grew to the equivalent of '$185 billion in 2010'(wiki), with having this many resources it was understandable for him to have 13 children. Sadly, while Cornelius was hugely wealthy this could not save him from death; Cornelius died in 1877 on January 4, at the old age of 82 years old.

Samuel Slater was born on June 9, 1786 in Belper, Derbyshire, England, this is where the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution"(wiki) was born. Although the Americans really liked Samuel, in Europe he was called "Slater the Traitor"(wiki), this may be because Samuel brought the ideas and designs for factory machinery from Europe to America. It is very possible that without Samuel Slater bringing America the ideas and designs for factories, we wouldn't have been so strong industrially until way later in time. Samuel Slater "invented the first textile mills in the US"(wiki), textile mills and factories were the beginning of industrialization in America so it is obvious why Samuel Slater was nicknamed the "Father os the American Industrial Revolution"(wiki). Although Samuel Slater was so great and a huge part of the American Industrialization period, he died on April 21, 1835 at 66 years old in "Webster, Massachusetts"(google)
