The Scottish rocker denies his former The Faces bandmate's claims he doesn't like to splash his cash, insisting he is "careful" not mean.
Rod - who is set to reform the band later this year - said: "I am not tight or mean. Ronnie Wood, who is a great mate, keeps saying I am. He's such an asshole.
"He says I'm tighter than two coats of paint. I am careful with money, Ronnie isn't."
Rod is adamant he is generous with his cash and gives it to those who need it most.
He added in an interview in Australia: "Ronnie doesn't keep his eyes on the accounts like I do. He's got no Scottish blood in him. But I'm not tight. I do lots of work for charities. I just don't make it public."
The 'Maggie May' singer reportedly donated the proceeds from his glossy magazine wedding shoot to charity and once bought everyone in a New York bar a drink while he was watching his beloved Scotland play soccer.
He continued: "I may have encouraged that reputation a little bit in the early days when I was building an image for myself and with my love of Scotland, but not all Scottish people are tight, believe me."
