On the contrary, he got twice as much, since each of his two sons received a portion.

Additional information:

Both Levi and Joseph did not get a tribe, however, Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh - were adopted by Jacob as his own (see Genesis 48:5) and each given a tribe of Israel.

Note: Sometimes the 'birthright' holder Ephraim is referred to as Joseph in Scripture - see Numbers 1:32-33

Levi did not get a tribe because of their special position in the Temple and the local shrines.
