From his humble beginnings as a Scottish Immigrant, Andrew Carnegie grew into a diligent, brilliant, and sharp investor. His first steps into the business world began at the age of 12, and he soon worked his way up to become a clerk and a successful businessman without any education. Eventually, Carnegie went into the transportation industry and saw that the demand was so high for new railroads that he decided to form his production capacities. After critical investments in steel, railroads, and coke, he started Carnegie Steel Co.
J.P. Morgan, another American Business Titan, bought Andrew Carnegie’s company and made him the wealthiest man in the World. Carnegie did not just stop his illustrious career; he brought with him the great responsibility for caring for various philanthropic causes. He funded over 50% of Libraries in the United States during his time and established numerous colleges, schools, nonprofit organizations, and associations to promote education and world peace.
All in all, his steel empire constructed the raw materials that built the core infrastructure of the United States. His impact has not faltered but will continue to better America and the World we live in for years to come.
