I'm sure someone like Richard Branson would pay for a project like that to be Built if there was a cash prize involved.

I imagine something like that will be built eventually, when the private sector has the technology to do so. The motivating factor may well be the number of space tourists willing to pay big bucks for a vacation in space.
If you're thinking of a totally self-sufficient ecosystem, that's a little more difficult. The Biosphere project attempted it on Earth and failed.

Why do you want a terrarium in space? We already have one - its called the planet Earth. Its big, blue, and has lots of small countries which hate each other. You'll see it, you can tell by the light pollution, high carbon dioxide levels, and explosions. Just check your spaceship sensors.

Hi. The lack of gravity would require the terrarium to be ring shaped and rotate. (I play Halo.) If there was a good reason to do so, we could.

If you mean a permanent, habitable, and self-reliant space station, look up Biosphere 2 and you'll see why.

Perhaps Richard Branson is not as stupid as you think he is?
