I would say that it is healthy to envy a person for his good qualities, but to envy a person for his materialistic and monetary value is not healthy. When you envy a person for his good qualities you would strive to acquire those qualities but when you envy him for his materialistic or monetary value ,it is posible that you could go astray and do things which are not correct to achieve those materialistic and monetary status. In your case since you don't wish them bad you only envy them , it does not make you a bad person and you should not feel guilty about it, instead try to look into yourself to find things which may be putting others to envy you.
