Respuesta :

B. Andrew Carnegie

................................................................

Answer:

B. Andrew Carnegie

Explanation:

To escape poverty in Scotland, Carnegie moved with his family to Pittsburgh at age 13. He began as a bobbin kid in a cotton production line and moved through various occupations until turning into the director of the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad.  

While utilized by the Railroad, Carnegie put resources into an organization that produced rail route dozing cars. From that achievement, he put resources into more organizations. By 1863, half of his salary originated from investments. In 1865, he resigned from the railroad and established his own organization, Keystone Bridge Company. His first steel works started in 1873. The steel organization flourished, and by 1900 it delivered more metal than all of Great Britain.  

In 1901, J.P. Morgan purchased Carnegie Steel to shape United States Steel and paid Carnegie $480 million making him the world's most richest man. Carnegie at that point turned into a full-time humanitarian.
