(1998) Bill Gates gets the old PIE-IN-THE-FACE treatment while visiting Belgium

February 1998 in Brussels Belgium
In Brussels in February 1998 to meet with business leaders, Gates was hit in the face with a cream pie as he was about to enter a building. Stunned, but unhurt, Gates declined to press charges against the pranksters who said afterward they were motivated simply by mischief and not any particular grievance with Gates.
