He was born in Fife, Scotland, on 25 November 1835, and he immigrated to the United States in 1848. He died at the age of 83 in the state of Massachusetts. 

Industry and fortune
Andrew Carnegie made his fortune on the steel industry with his Carnegie Steel Company. He utilized the Bessemer process for mass-producing steel from pig iron, and he acquired the entire supply chain for the product (vertical integration). He also purchased many of his competitors. Carnegie briefly became the richest man in the world after selling the Carnegie Steel Company to J.P. Morgan.

Philanthropy
Andrew Carnegie is among the greatest philanthropists of all time. He created and preached the Gospel of Wealth, which sparked a wave of charity among the Gilded Age business moguls. He created the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University) to educate the children of steel workers in Pittsburgh, as well as the Carnegie Institution for Science, Carnegie Hall, the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, and many other similar organizations and funds.
