Carnegie Hall



Carnegie was an immigrant from Scotland, immigrating to America as a child. He was the builder of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company. With the excessive money he made from his steel businesses he founded educational ventures, such as Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Carnegie Mellon University. Carnegie could have ran for Ms. America, considering how he donated most of his money to countries of the world, schools and libraries. As well as the steel industry, Carnegie had investments in the railroad system. The Sherman Antitrust did not really effect Carnegie, thus giving him the title of one of the richest men on Earth. He, however, did not get the bad reputation of most monopolistic men, as he donated much of what he earned.
