To the first paragraph, Carnegie did almost nothing until he sold his company for a couple hundred million dollars, after he retired.

Sure, but this actually fit within Carnegie's overall plan (get a lot of money, then spend time giving it all away). Jobs never seems to have given much thought at all to charity. It's not like he died in a car crash; his health has been awful for years.

The second part is a cool fact but has nothing to do with the first post and my response to it.

Well, it seems to indicate a fundamentally uncharitable nature. I chose the quote because it resonates, but the key fact is that Jobs was immensely wealthy but apparently did not use his wealth at all to help others.
