Miley Cyrus is to charge guests $250 to attend her 16th birthday party.
The 'Hannah Montana' star - who reportedly earned $18.2 million last year - is set to celebrate her birthday at Disneyland, California, and will sell tickets to raise money for Youth Service America, which helps improve the lives of young people aged five to 25.
Promising a special fireworks display and a live performance, Miley said: "It's gonna be an awesome party with more than seven things I like. I love roller coasters. So this is my ultimate birthday."
Explaining the decision to turn her celebrations into a fundraiser, Miley said: "There's only one world and we got to take care of it."
The actress-and-singer, the teenage daughter of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, also revealed she wants a car for her birthday.
The party will take place on October 5 - just over a month before Miley turns 16.
Tickets to Miley's Sweet 16 - Share the Celebration will go on sale on August 30.

Miley Cyrus Didn't Know People Would Look at VF Pics "Like That"
Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus feels the pressure of fame – especially after Vanity Fair published a semi-topless photo of the 15-year-old, according to co-star Anna Maria Perez de Tagle.
"Sometimes I'll talk to her on the phone and she'll be like, 'It's really hard' or 'I'm really tired. I can't do this,'" Perez de Tagle told E!
"But I'll always say, 'You do want to do this. You love your job.' And she's like, 'Yeah,'" the actress added.
The Vanity Fair portrait "really hurt her inside," said Perez de Tagle. "She didn’t know that people would look at it like that."
After Cyrus apologized and said she was embarrassed when the photo was released, Bill O'Reilly blamed her dad for putting "her into a situation where she becomes, at 15, a sex symbol."
Production is under way for the Hannah Montana movie, which hits screens in 2009.

Miley Cyrus Apologizes for Revealing "Vanity Fair" Photos
Disney superstar Miley Cyrus (aka "Hannah Montana") was recently photographed by Annie Leibovitz for a series of photos to appear in Vanity Fair magazine. In the yet-to-be-published photos Miley appears to be topless and wrapped in a sheet. The photos haven't yet been printed, they'll make their debut in the June edition of the magazine, but they've already hit the web.
Since the existence of these revealing photos and the photo shoot have come to light, the Disney actress/singer has come under fire.
At only 15-years-old, Miley has already been the subject of scrutiny in connection with risque photos. Just one week ago, several photos of her draped across her boyfriend's lap and showing off her green bra were released online. At least three other sets of not-so-innocent photos have been leaked online over the past year.
Miley issued a statement on ET today about the Vanity Fair shoot:
"For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."
Disney also issued a statement supporting Miley in playing the "victim" card:
"Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
Considering that Miley is such a huge star and only 15, it doesn't seem likely that she would be allowed to participate in a shoot like this if her managers, handlers, and parents didn't approve it.
Vanity Fair defended themselves, telling the New York Times:
"Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
It seems to me that the only concern anyone in the Miley camp really has now is how this negative publicity will affect their sales, Miley's image, and ultimately their pocketbooks.
