Andrew Carnegie, the self-made philanthropist

安德鲁·卡内基：自力更生的富一代暨大慈善家

As a Scottish immigrant in the 19th century, Carnegie arrived in America as a poor teenager and worked his way through the ranks, starting with a daily 12-hour job changing spools. He eventually made a fortune as an investor during the Civil War, including a single $40,000 investment in the oil-rich Story Farm, which earned him $1 million in dividends by the end of the year. After the war, he launched Carnegie Steel Corporation, which he later sold to J. P. Morgan for $480 million. He increased his wealth and fame with his writing, including his “Gospel of Wealth” describing the philanthropic responsibilities of the self-made rich, and he became well-known for his own philanthropy, including millions of dollars of donations to the New York Public Library, the establishment of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh (Carnegie-Mellon University today), and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

19世纪时，卡内基作为苏格兰移民来到美利坚，那时的他还是一个穷酸小青年;从一份每天12小时更换线轴的工作开始，他一步一步逆袭走上人生赢家之路。最终，在美国南北战争期间，他作为一名投资者发了大财，这其中包括投资价值40,000美金的储油丰富的Story Farm，一年之后这笔投资就让卡内基获得了一百万美金的分红。战后他成立了卡内基钢铁公司，之后以4亿美元的价格卖给了JP摩根。此外，卡内基还通过写作出书不断斩获名利，包括著名的《财富的福音》，在书中卡内基讲述了“富一代”们的慈善责任，从此他也开始因自己的慈善事业闻名。他不仅向纽约公共图书馆捐赠百万美金，还成立了匹兹堡卡内基工学院(今天的卡内基梅隆大学;译者注：卡内基梅隆大学是一所位于美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的大学，其前身卡内基理工学院与梅隆工业研究院于1967年合并后成立卡内基梅隆大学)和卡内基国际和平基金会。

出生在务农之家的福特，起先加入了爱迪生照明公司，之后又辞掉工作创立自己的公司。虽然他的第一次尝试失败了，第二个公司差点破产，但他的福特汽车公司却实实在在地改变了美国人的生活，让汽车的价格变得更亲民更大众，同时还为整个行业建立了流水线操作标准。

Steve Jobs, the backyard billionaire of the personal computer revolution

斯蒂夫·乔布斯：在自家后院发动全球个人电脑革命的巨富

Raised by adoptive parents who did not graduate from college, Jobs tinkered with electronics at a young age with his father, who worked as a mechanic and carpenter. After dropping out of college, traveling and working, Jobs and high school friend Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer from Jobs’s parents’ garage. From there, Jobs was influential in the personal computer revolution, as well as in other consumer electronics including smartphones, music and movies, and Apple eventually became the world’s most valuable publicly traded company in 2011.

乔布斯在收养家庭里长大，养父母大学肄业，爸爸是机械工兼木匠，从孩童时期起，乔布斯就开始跟着养父一起围着电子器件修修补补。大学辍学后，乔布斯一边旅行一边工作，和自己的高中朋友斯蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克在自家的车库里创建了苹果电脑公司。从那之后，乔布斯就一发不可收拾，除了领衔全球个人电脑革命之外，也顺便颠覆了其他电子消费品领域，例如智能手机、音乐、电影等，苹果也在2011年的时候成为了最具价值的公开上市公司。

Oprah Winfrey, the teenage mother who became a household name

奥普拉·温弗瑞：从少龄妈妈到家喻户晓

Oprah was born into poverty with a single teenage mother and experienced a tough childhood, becoming a teenage mother herself at 14 and losing that son shortly after. In high school she got involved with radio, and at 19 she began co-anchoring the local evening news. After working in a daytime talk show, which went from last-ranked to the top-ranked talk show in Chicago during her time there, she started The Oprah Winfrey Show. Her show, which started as a tabloid talk show, eventually expanded to broader topics, including celebrity interviews: her 1993 prime-time interview of Michael Jackson became the most watched interview ever. When her show went national, Oprah became a millionaire at 32, and today she is a billionaire.

奥普拉出生于一个贫穷的单身未成年母亲家庭，自小就经历不少困难，14岁的时候奥普拉自己也成为了一名少龄母亲，而不久后又失去了这个儿子。在高中时，奥普拉就开始尝试播音，19岁开始在当地晚间新闻担任联合主播。之后她在一档日间脱口秀栏目工作，其间，这档节目的排名从芝加哥地区的垫底行列直升至榜首;在这之后，奥普拉就成立了与自己同名的《奥普拉·温弗瑞脱口秀》。这档节目最开始还只是小打小闹，做一些小型节目，但是之后其涉及的话题范围越来越广，也包括名人访谈：她在1993年对迈克尔·杰克逊的采访于黄金时段播出，成为了迄今为止收视率最高的访谈。随着她的脱口秀走向全国，奥普拉在32岁年纪轻轻的时候就成为了百万富翁，今天，她已经是十亿级的富婆了。
