Answer:

Andrew Carnegie, famous for the thousands of libraries he built, made his fortune in the steel industry.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase separated by the commas from the rest of the phrase gives a bit of unnecessary information. The fact that the sentence could make sense without the separated phrase means the commas were used correctly.
