Your whatever-clause lacks a verb and is therefore ungrammatical:

Whatever money in the world, I wouldn't eat it. NO

Either of these would work:

I wouldn't eat it, whatever you offered to pay me.

No matter what you offered to pay me, I wouldn't eat it.

With "no matter" you can also say:

I wouldn't eat it, no matter what!

That is a kind of ellipsis where the missing verb phrase expresses the idea "the condition or circumstances happened to be".

.... no matter what [the condition | circumstances happened to be]

no matter what! is synonymous with under any circumstances.
