LOS ANGELES, June 17 (UPI) -- Everyone knows Miley Cyrus likes to put her own spin on things. Outlandish outfits, controversial dance moves and bold statements decorate her resume.

Who says her take on philanthropic efforts should be any different?

The "Wrecking Ball" singer, famous for her crazy antics and questionable wardrobe, is also big on charity.

Cyrus has donated money to support causes such as teen homelessness awareness, breast cancer research and children's art education.

Recently her artwork was sold for $69,000 at the sixth annual AmfAR 2015 Inspiration Gala auction where she was honored for her contributions to AIDS research.

She posted a preview of her "werk" on Instagram last week.

Yes, those are bedazzled versions of Caitlyn Jenner's famous Vanity Fair cover.

Yes, it was those two pieces (and one more) that sold for over $60,000.

And yes, Caitlyn Jenner does know they exist. She even autographed them herself.

According to MTV, the three pieces were dubbed "The Caitlyn Collection" and were sold to an unknown buyer who may or may not have gotten a peek at Cyrus' lady parts.

During the gala, the singer joked that she would flash her left breast, "oddly bigger" than her right one, to the highest bidder.

Cyrus seems to have a very open relationship with nudity -- Miley's Instagram is riddled with topless photos of herself -- considering that at last year's Inspiration Gala the singer purchased a nude photo by photographer Ryan McGinley, for $300,000 and later donated an additional $200,000.

At last year's event she said, "If I'm going to have a voice, I would like to start an open dialogue about prevention and awareness and how people in the world have been affected by HIV and AIDS."

In her award acceptance speech on Tuesday Cyrus thanked her parents Tish and Billy Cyrus for their support.

"I just want to tell my parents, I hope that this makes them proud," she said.

She also encouraged a united "we love you" to honor those who struggle with HIV/AIDS.

@mileycyrus' #amfAR speech was so, so good.
