No not jealous of his super powers. Jealous of what the people see in Superman that they will never see in Lex. People treat Superman not like any ordinary superhero, they treat him as a God, as an inspiration and courage to themselves. This is what Lex hates and one of the biggest reasons why he hates Superman and why he is insane.

My question is... why don't he harbor this kind of jealousy towards any other superhero?

Well it is heavily implied that before Superman, Lex was somewhat treated like a God.

Stories about Lex Luthor imply that he's a terrible person because he's completely consumed by his hatred of Superman and that if Superman just didn't exist, he might actually be a decent / average businessman.

Because Superman pretty much IS God.

No other (mainstream) hero is so powerful

He has like 40 different powers including the ability to fly and do pretty much whatever he likes.

I mean how likely is a Billionaire going to be jealous of Beast Boy or Wonder Woman?

Superman isn't a God, though. He's just an alien who uses the yellow sun as his power. I mean, there's Green Lantern.

http://dcau.wikia.com/wiki/Lex_Luthor#Background_information
Lex's appearance in the DCAU was partially based on actor Telly Savalas and his portrayal of the James Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (opposite George Lazenby as James Bond). This somewhat influenced the stylistic approach of Clancy Brown, though it is far from an imitation.

Wonder Woman is right on par and Beast Boy cn literally turn into a dragon. A less modern society would definitely worship him as a god.

And there's other people as strong and stronger than Supes.

New 52 was sorta a mixture of both. No one trusted Superman in this point in time.

Also, Superman is primarily in Superman's city, which is probably why he butts heads with him more than any other hero. If Lex needs to do something, Superman is probably there to stop him from doing it...and since Superman is somewhere in Metropolis, its easier to target him since Superman has rabid fans.

Isn't he dead now? Or is this the universe surviving Superman that merged with a ghost?
Or maybe I'm thinking of the totally wrong person.
