I don't know who andrew carnegie is but to become a billionaire you would have to be focused, business minded, probably selfish, work orientated... that is all unless you were the inventor of something like the surfboard... it depends really. One billionaire might have got that way by a one off gamble and another by struggling and fighting to get there

In the case of Andrew Carnegie greed, apathy toward others, narcissism, total self absorbtion are personality traits he had and it helped make him rich but he destroyed a lot of lives in the process. He didn't care who he had to step on or who he had to stab in the back to get to the top he was willing to do whatever it took.
