World — we were this close to having a Kim Kardashian Barbie doll! 

On Friday (January 11), the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star revealed that she was once in talks with Mattel, the company behind Barbie dolls, to create a line of Kim K dolls. "Have the best story about this look," she wrote on Twitter after a fan tweeted her wearing a "little black dress" from 2011. "I had a Barbie deal & she was going 2 wear this exact look! Then the deal got canceled, the Kim K Barbie would no longer B produced." 

While Kim admitted she was devastated after her Barbie dreams didn't come true, she revealed her husband, Kanye West, stepped in to remedy the situation. "Kanye knew how sad I was, called Mattel & made all my dreams come true by having my prototype made just 4 me!" she wrote. (Talk about the husband of the year!) 

Ye is clearly the King of gift-giving. Last month, Mr. West gifted Kim a $14 million condo for Christmas. He reportedly surprised the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star with the "mega-unit" which is in super, super exclusive South Beach condo building Faena House, dubbed "Billionaire Beach Bunker." The unit is said to be 4,700 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, and it also features a huge terrace. The 18-story building, which is reportedly occupied by "hedge fund gazillionaires," also has a gym, pool, and spa.

Ye's gifting of the condo came months after, Kim revealed her husband gave her a Mother's Day surprise so big that even she was shocked by his generosity. "He's like the cutest. A brand offered me a million dollars to do a post on some of their clothing and they typically—I don't want to say who the brand is—but they typically knock off Yeezy," Kim recalled while speaking on a podcast in October. "Let me ask Kanye how he feels about it and he says, 'No babe. I really don't want you to do that.' Understandable but that's a lot of money."

"Mother's Day was like the next week. Mother's Day comes and he happened to be recording out of town and I get my flowers and then I get an envelope delivered to the door," Kim continued. "I opened the envelope and it was a million dollar check with a note saying thank you for always supporting me and not posting. And then, in the rest of the envelope, it was a contract to be an owner of Yeezy—to have my percentage. And that was my Mother's Day present."
