Do You Know Me ?


- I was born in Scotland on November 25, 1835.
- I was an American Industrialist with no formal education.
- I am thought of as a ruthless capitalist... a so-called "robber baron".
- I am regarded by many to be the second richest man in history to only John D. Rockerfeller with $298.3 billion in 2007 dollars.
- Before the Civil War I was in business with George Pullman of the Pullman car fame.
- Every company I touched seemed to turn to gold: Oil, Railroads and Steel.
- J.P. Morgan bought my steel company and renamed it U.S. Steel.
- I became a philanthropist later in life, writing several books, establishing public libraries, funding a college that bears my name and several endowment funds that still live on.
- The History Channel did a one hour biography of me... yeah I'm that cool.
