‘jealous about’ or ‘jealous of’ ?


“You are not ‘jealous about’ something, you are usually ‘jealous of’ something.
Examples: ”everyone is jealous of Hema’s achievements”. *  “There are many people who are jealous of Dravid’s wealth.”
Similarly you are ‘jealous of’ someone and not ‘jealous about’ someone.
Examples: ” The two year old boy is jealous of his baby brother.” * “Many of the tenants are jealous of the landlord.”
