People can change.
If your character is completely, utterly irredeemable,you could just stop roleplaying him and fantasia/namechange him into someone else and maybe no one will miss him. If there's a chance, though, it doesn't hurt to give it some outside thought.
Step out of the role as the guy who writes the character for a moment and try to look at him objectively. He's a whiny, arrogant spoiled ass. So what's important to him? What kind of event would it take for him to change or to grow? Does he have an easy ride in life because he's got rich parents?
Kill those parents. Derail the gravy train. Humiliate and humble your character. Remember, pain is growth.
Maybe he's just a prickish rockstar who doesn't care about other people because he thinks he's better than them. Have him witness a terrible act of brutality. Have a shifty merchant shiv a starving kid in the neck for stealing from him. Give him something human to react to, and use that to ignite a change for the better in him.
Is his attitude just bad? Bring back a new friend from the past or his childhood, and have that friend call him out on being a selfish brat, and express disappointment. Force him to come to terms with the fact he's unlikable.
Nobody is so cut off from the world that there isn't something that would draw a rise from them. If you want to change the character without repurposing him OOCly, then make him suffer and hurt and teach him a lesson. He'll either endure and push on, or he won't, and then you can rewrite him knowing that at least he tried.
