He constantly strived to better himself and believed in the rights and opportunities for the common man. His ambition was matched by his work ethic and his natural charisma.]]> 2017-01-04 00:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_kidzu/54zzblj831tk/wish/145187469 LEGACY lisa_kidzu https://padlet.com/lisa_kidzu/54zzblj831tk/wish/145187745 Fond of saying that "the man who dies rich dies disgraced," Carnegie then turned his attention to giving away his fortune. He abhorred charity, and instead put his money to use helping others help themselves. That was the reason he spent much of his collected fortune on establishing over 2,500 public libraries as well as supporting institutions of higher learning. By the time Carnegie's life was over, he gave away 350 million dollars.

For every step of the process, Carnegie owned exactly what he needed: the raw materials, ships and railroads for transport and coal fields to fuel the steel furnaces. He sold the company to JP Morgan's US Steel in 1901for more than $200 million. He devoted the rest of his life to philanthropy and helping others.
