A mega-mansion owned by a multimillionaire mogul who helped launch the vodka brand Grey Goose is now on the market for $28.5 million.

The Greenwich, Connecticut mansion was originally listed for $34 million. 

The home was originally owned by John Frank - who's the nephew of Sidney Frank, the man who created the beloved alcoholic drink and the former vice chairman of the company - is now up for sale, and it's fit for a king or queen.

The 17,878-square-foot house has 10 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and five half-bathrooms.

The Georgian mansion, listed by Rob Johnson of Brown Harris Stevens, also includes a library, gym, kids playroom, wine cellar, golf-simulator room, laundry room, two pools (one for adults and one for kids), a hot tub, and 30-car garage.

The house is a car lover's paradise with a big garage that can hold up to 30 automobiles and another three-car garage somewhere on the property. 

In 1973, Sidney founded Sidney Frank Importing Company, which allowed him to get the import rights for Jagermeister.

After that, in 1997, he created Grey Goose, which he later sold to the company Bacardi in 2004 for around $3 billion.

He died of heart failure in 2006 at the age of 86. 

John, his nephew and vice chairman of the business at the time of the sale, made the decision to build the house using the proceeds from the sale.

The property is currently listed with Brown Harris Stevens for $28.5 million

Sidney Frank developed Grey Goose in 1997 before selling it to the brand Bacardi for close to $3 billion in 2004

His nephew John, who was vice chairman of the company at the time of the sale, decided to use the money he made from it to build the home

The mansion took four years to complete, and he enlisted acclaimed architect Paul Marchese, who worked on the World Trade Center

He hired renowned architect Paul, who worked on the World Trade Center, and it took four years to finish.

'I found Paul to be very creative and to have a great sense of symmetry,' John told Bloomberg.

'Most importantly, he was a car nut like myself, so he could help me build a home in the style I wanted, with a great garage and a property where I could bring the cars in and out.'

John went all out when it came to the many opulent facilities in the home—he had three little children at the time.

He continued: 'I had three children at home. I wanted it to accommodate them, and I wanted privacy.

'The entire house is notable. The windows are all soundproofed, the walls are all twice as thick as they have to be, not only outside but internal walls as well. The quality of construction is second to none - no expense was spared.' 

Though John has now moved to Florida with his grown children, he still remembers hosting "mega parties" in the house.

'We invited 250 people, and the house can handle it perfectly,' he said.

'It's time to move on. But I'll tell you - I'll surely miss this house because I'll never live as well again.'
