Answer 1

It was a prank!

In Brussels, Belgium, Bill Gates was visiting European Union officials.  As he was entering a government building to deliver a speech on education, he was struck in the face with a cream pie.  Gates wiped the cream from his face with a towel; he was assisted in cleaning his shirt and coat; and he delivered his remarks.

The prankster escaped, but one accomplice and a cameraman, who captured the incident on video (see youtube source below), were taken into custody.  They were later released after Belgian prankster NOEL GODIN appeared on television to take responsibility for the attack.

Gates did not press charges.  

GODIN, an anarchist with a "sense of humour," has made something of a name for himself targeting the rich, famous, and pompous with cream pies.  

Perhaps one of the most famous men in the French-speaking world, GODIN is called "L'entarteur," or "the Pieman." He often appears on TV shows and films and is an author of a book about his exploits.
