1 and 2 don't make sense.
We wouldn't say "someone's something". And you could not say "from someone that I don't have."
The simplest way to say this is:
"I've never been jealous of something someone else has."
"I've never been jealous of other people's things."
"I've never been jealous of other people's possessions."
Also, "jealous" is not technically the correct word here. "Jealous" means fear of being replaced by someone. You get jealous when a new person starts talking to your crush.
"Envious" is when you want something someone else has. You are envious of their car, or their job, etc." It's good to be neither :)
But it is so common for people to use "jealous" when they mean "envious", that nobody would ever notice or misunderstand your sentences.

@SelfSimilarJosh Can I say “"I've never been jealous of something someone else has and I don’t have”
@SelfSimilarJosh Can I say “"I've never been jealous of something someone else has and I don’t have”

@Joe188 It would be a little clunky because of the "and". You can also remove the final "have" since it is implied. If it's the same verb you can pretty much do this whenever you use "do not" at the end.
"I've never been jealous of something someone else has that I don’t"
This pattern is so common that it feels strange to read otherwise.
