Interesting question, Avigayil. When we start studying Torah again from the beginning after Simchat Torah and come to the 4th or 5rh parashat in Genesis, you will see how Hashem also made Ishmael a nation and named the princes of his defendant's tribes. So in a way, it was a lot more than a double portion. Also, this is why that passage is read during the first day of Rosh Hashana, because Ishmael repented.
Baruch Hashem.🎉
What of Ishmael? Where was his double portion?
