According to a press release, the reveal will take place during The Ellen DeGeneres Show‘s season 17 premiere week, beginning Sept. 9.
To add to the celebrations, Jenner is also launching the limited-edition Birthday Collection by Kylie Cosmetics, which drops on her birthday, Aug. 10. The collection features brand new products, including a Jelly Kylighter, Face Primer, and Pressed Body Glow, all encased in glittery, money-themed packaging with names like “Birthday Queen” and “Time for Cake.”
“This collection has been so much fun to develop,” Jenner said in the press release. “I love creating the packaging for each collection and introducing new products and formulas that you guys haven’t seen yet. Birthdays in my family have always been special, it’s a chance to get the whole family together to celebrate someone in a meaningful way.”

One item features Jenner posing seductively on the product box with massive money symbol earrings, and another has her wearing a M$NEY necklace by Rad + Refined. The lipstick trio comes packaged in a circular cash roll box that includes Jenner’s birthdate (“081097”) across it and the age she’s turning on August 10 (“22”).
To make this year’s birthday collection even more special, Jenner hinted that she plans on donating all the money she earns from sales.
“The money collection is much bigger than what it seems. I am giving back, actually I do mean ‘we.’ You guys are going to help me give back in a huge, huge way,” Jenner said on her Instagram Story.
“All I wanted for my birthday was to do this money collection and give it all away,” she added. “So stay tuned for more details. I have a special person helping me with this and it’s going to be amazing. We’re going to do amazing things.”
