The File
Tucker Carlson co-owns ALP, a nicotine pouch brand that Reuters reported is the fourth or fifth largest label of its kind in the United States. The product line sits alongside his media business as a second commercial venture built on the same audience relationship. In 2026, a shipment of 378,000 cans of ALP's limited-edition Drifter line was stolen, an incident that surfaced the brand's scale and supply chain in national coverage it might not otherwise have received.
