| Although Andrew Carnegie made millions of dollars in the steel industry, he is best known for the legacy of donations he made to various charitable causes. Carnegie donated nearly $350 million to education, research, and art institutions. Carnegie founded the Carnegie Technical Schools—now called Carnegie-Mellon University—in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1900 to make a contribution to both research and education. For the arts, he built Carnegie Hall, a grand concert hall, in New York City. Carnegie also founded a number of libraries throughout the United States. |
