Who were Andrew Carnegie and John D Rockefeller?
Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835, and his family moved to Pennsylvania when young Andrew was thirteen. John D. Rockefeller was born four years later in upstate New York — the son of a trader, who moved him to Cleveland when he was six.
Why did Carnegie give away more money than rockerfelle?
Rockerfelle, on the other hand, gave away more money that Carnegie, but for the wrong reasons, he did it to avoid persecution and prosecution from anti-monopolistic trusts that were after the Standard Oil. And I raise the question, is this ethical?
How did John D Rockefeller make his money?
Rockefeller eased back on oil due to public criticism, and went after steel, clashing with Carnegie. Eventually, Standard was called out for its monopoly and told to break up. This, of course, proved extremely profitable for Rockefeller, who hit his high water mark of $900 million, or 1/44th of the United States gross national product.
How did Andrew Carnegie become so rich?
But when he was 38 he started the Keystone Iron Works, and he stayed with that until 1901. By then Keystone Iron had become U.S. Steel, and Andrew Carnegie had become one of the wealthiest men on the planet. John D. Rockefeller went into business when he was 20, and he picked up his first oil well as a sideline.
