You are assuming a simulation does not want to die, and this is unclear. The fact that 100$ is better than 0$ is taken as an axiom because it is part of the statement. However, death is worse than life (for a simulation!) is not trivial. “Rationality should not be done for rationality or it ends in a loop”. So posts use money as the thing the rational agents want. You have to assign a financial value to life before saying it is less valuable than 100$
