Summary
I'm a Scottish-American industrialist, business magnate, and philanthropist. I led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and became one of the richest Americans in history. I also became a leading philanthropist in the United States and in the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, I gave away about $350 million to charities, foundations, and universities – almost 90 percent of his fortune. My 1889 article proclaiming "The Gospel of Wealth" called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, and stimulated a wave of philanthropy.

Legacy and Honors
The dinosaur Diplodocus carnegiei (Hatcher) was named for Carnegie after he sponsored the expedition that discovered its remains in the Morrison Formation (Jurassic) of Utah. Carnegie was so proud of "Dippi" that he had casts made of the bones and plaster replicas of the whole skeleton donated to several museums in Europe and South America. The original fossil skeleton is assembled and stands in the Hall of Dinosaurs at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Carnegie, Pennsylvania, and Carnegie, Oklahoma, were named in his honor.
The Saguaro cactus's scientific name, Carnegiea gigantea, is named after him.
The concert halls in Dunfermline and New York are named after him.
At the height of his career, Carnegie was the second-richest person in the world, behind only John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil.

Extra Credit (optional)
For extra credit, choose any existing website or app and recreate its interface with HTML and CSS!
You'll be given points based on the following two criteria:
- How complex the original site is.
- How visually similar it is to the original website.
To submit, please follow these steps:
- Compress (or zip) the folder for your webpage
- Submit the zipped file to this form.
Here are some other notes:
- If you choose to do this extra credit assignment, please email.
- Each student can get a max of 20 points for extra credit on this assignment.
- This is to be done solo.
- In class, I showed you how to use the inspector tool to see the HTML/CSS code for any website. You may not use the inspector tool, or any other such tool, to view the HTML/CSS code for the webpage you choose to recreate -- that would be cheating!
