One of the things that set Andrew Carnegie apart from the other "robber barons" was the fact that Carnegie came from a poor background. Carnegie started his work as a messenger boy for a telegraph office.

They were the richest men of their time and they controlled the oil, railroad, and banking of the nation. They lived like kings and paid their workers as little as they could.

Three notable examples of robber barons are John D. Rockefeller, who dominated the oil industry with Standard Oil; Andrew Carnegie, who led the expansion of the steel industry through Carnegie Steel; and Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made his fortune in railroads and shipping. These industrialists are often criticized for their ruthless business practices, exploitation of labor, and monopolistic control, which contributed to significant wealth inequality during the Gilded Age in the United States.
