The Skims mogul added, "We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more.

And the over-the-top celebration didn't end there.

Kanye West went all out for Kim Kardashian's 40th birthday, gifting his wife with a lifelike hologram of her late father, Robert Kardashian. The reality star posted a video of the hologram alongside the caption: "For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It is so lifelike and we watched it over and over, filled with lots [of] tears and emotion. I can't even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime."
"You're 40 and all grown up," the hologram told Kim in the clip. "You look beautiful, just like when you were a little girl. I watch over you and your sisters and brother — and the kids — every day." It continued, "I am so proud of the woman that you've become, Kimberly, and all that you've accomplished. ... But most impressive is your commitment to become a lawyer and carry on my legacy. It's a long and a hard road, but it's worth it, and I'm with you every step of the way."
The Kardashian patriarch, who served as one of O.J. Simpson's lawyers during his murder trial, died in 2003 after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
