Lucas de Deus Santos (born 9 October 1982), known as Cacá, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Esporte Clube Santo André as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Cacá started his career with hometown’s Clube Atlético Mineiro. During his spell with the Galo, he was also loaned twice: in the 2003–04 season he played with MSV Duisburg in the German second division, being sparingly used as the club finished in seventh position.

In early 2006, Cacá signed with AaB Fodbold from Clube de Regatas Brasil. He only appeared in two Danish Superliga games in his third year due to injury, as the Aalborg side won the national championship after a nine-year wait. Back to full fitness in 2008–09, he helped it reach the final in the Danish Cup; additionally, on 25 November 2008, he scored the 1–1 equalizer in a UEFA Champions League group stage contest against Celtic, in an eventual 2–1 win which saw the hosts leapfrog the Scots for the third place in Group E, with the subsequent qualification to the UEFA Cup.

On 5 July 2009, Cacá moved clubs but stayed in Denmark, signing a three-year contract with Odense BK for around 4 million Danish kroner. In his only full season with the team he contributed with 17 starts and three goals to an eventual second position, which qualified to the Europa League.

Cacá and Odense mutually terminated the player’s contract on 14 January 2011. In the last day of the winter transfer window he signed with U.D. Leiria in Portugal, joining a host of compatriots at the top division side.

International career

Cacá played all the games for Brazil at the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship in New Zealand, scoring in the quarterfinals against Paraguay (4–1 win) as the national team won the tournament.

Personal life

Cacá’s older brothers, Dedé and Leandro, were also footballers. Both shared teams at Atlético Mineiro and Borussia Dortmund, with very different individual fates however.

Andrew Carnegie’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Andrew Carnegie net worth: Andrew Carnegie was a Scottish-American industrialist who led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century. Andrew Carnegie had an inflation adjusted net worth of $310 billion. That’s enough to make him the 4th richest human being of all time. In addition to a lucrative career, Andrew Carnegie was also one of the highest profile philanthropists of his era. Carnegie was born on November 25, 1835 in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848. The family was very poor, and Carnegie’s experience has often been described as a true “rags to riches” story. Carnegie started as a telegrapher and by the 1860s had investments in railroads, railroad sleeping cars, bridges and oil derricks. He built further wealth as a bond salesman where he raised money for American enterprise in Europe. Carnegie made his fortune in the steel industry, controlling the most extensive integrated iron and steel operations ever owned by an individual in the United States. One of his two great innovations was the cheap and efficient mass production of steel by adopting and adapting the Bessemer process for steel making. He built Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Steel Company, which he sold to J.P. Morgan in 1901 for $480 million. This created the U.S. Steel Corporation. Carnegie devoted the remainder of his life to large-scale philanthropy, with special emphasis on local libraries, world peace, education and scientific research. Carnegie’s mother had not wanted him to get married so he waited until after she died in 1886. That year, Carnegie married Louise Whitfield, who was more than 20 years his junior, and the couple had their only child, a daughter, whom they named after Carnegie’s mother, Margaret. Carnegie died on August 11, 1919, in Lenox, Massachusetts, of bronchial pneumonia. He had already given away $350,695,653 of his wealth. At his death, his last $30,000,000 was given to foundations, charities, and to pensioners.
