Learn to be happy for others. It sounds simple, but learning to celebrate others success (even if you think it's undeserved) is one of the best tests of emotional intelligence I've found and one of the hardest things to do.
In terms of how to do that, I'd suggest reading up on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Rule of thumb - just worry about yourself. You don't know what qualities the employer truly values. It's not all about grades and test scores. In fact, once they create a bar that's the least of it. Much more about people skills and potential leadership ability. EQ goes very far in the real world because the truth is, you can easily replace tech skills. Thousands of applicants have the hard skills. How many of them are viewed as potential leaders? If they don't see a future with you in a client facing role, you have a long climb.

Figure out why they were hired despite their shortcomings then use that knowledge to your advantage. If you're feeling jealous, certainly don't let it show or act on it, or you'll regret it big time.
Agree w the advice above. If you cannot pull that off then think of general practitioner doctors who had to do pre-med, obtain an MD, and complete a residency all to make less than you with a snazzy Econ BA and inexperience with taking the pulse of 80 year olds. You’ll feel lucky.

“define better”. If the team who hired xyz person thought they are the better fit for them is that truly better for you in the longrun?
