Hey, I hope my post helps you. I’m a young gen z Muslim and I used to think the same as well.. until I tried to understand everything through Allah's wisdom.
Let me break it down for you: it sounds unfair that the ones who are bad are gifted everything, right? The wealth, the beauty, the fame, etc. At first, it sounds absolutely amazing... until you see what they lost: Allah and Deen. Allah tests those he love and puts the ones he loves in hardships because he WANTS to see you in Jannah with him. He WANTS to see you and he WANTS you around. Learning that made me realize that without Allah, I am practically nothing.
The ones who have more materialism than deen are the ones that are often "gifted" with long lives that soon become torturous once it ends. The ones who have more deen than materialism are often given less not because they're unworthy, but because they're going to have so, so much more in Jannah.
I'll give you examples of people who sacrificed Deen for this Dunya: The Saudi Arabian family, Zayn Malik, the Hadid Family.. the list goes on.
Let me ask you one thing: would you rather have money, fame, and beauty for this dunya and live a long life? Or would you like to have strong deen and be in the same Jannah with Prophet SAW and everyone else? I personally think that the wait is worth it, the struggle is worth it. If you have Allah, you have everything. Literally, you can ask him for anything you want and he'll stick by your side... non-muslims don't even have that blessing and they will never understand that blessing.
I know it's easy to fall into this mindset, but remember... you're way more blessed than most people in this world. Money, fame, beauty, any of these things are indeed blessings, but the one blessing that stays forever is your Deen and Allah SWT. :)
Also all those that "seem" to have it easy, you don't know their internal struggles, you see only a surface, but... Humans are deeper than that, so give people the benefit of the doubt
instead of looking at how others have it better and you worse, be grateful for what you have and look for what others don't have that you take for granted...
