Although Andrew Carnegie was the leading philanthropist of the United States in the late 1900's, his treatment towards his laborers were no better than other money typhoons. Despite making up to 40 million dollars a year, he would only pay his workers around 400-600 dollars annually. Eventually, this would lead to a worker strike leading to so much violence that 3 people died.
