That really is going a bit too far, and is possibly way off base.

The Marchs have ploughed huge sums into the Goodwood estate, and as a result of their investment into it, they have provided the country with possibly one of the best horse racing tracks and best motor sport facilities. And Goodwood doesn't claim to be a charity.

Furthermore, the Marchs have remained tax residents in the UK, so therefore helping to maintain public services through their taxation. And Goodwood Estate, which actually owns both the circuit and track, is also based in the UK, so also paying into the Revenues coffers.

And that's, in a small measure, to yours and mine benefit.
