There's a loosely related joke, which might apply a little...

A person discovers a genie in a bottle, and is given 3 wishes, but with the condition that their worst enemy will receive double the wish.

"For my first wish, I would like a billion dollars"

Genie nods. Person is surrounded by stacks of dollars and gold. "Your enemy gets two billion."

"For my second wish, I would like a mansion."

Genie nods. Person is transported to a beautiful mansion. "Done. Your enemy gets two mansions."

"Now beat me half to death."
