There is actually a good reason to believe in existense of multiverse(and even hyperverse and outerverse), but a philosophical one. Because ontologically speaking, with time, as we delve deeper into observing and researching our world, every time we find things out there, and in greater numbers. Once people believed that there's only one continent surrounded by water. Turned out there are 7. Then people believed that Sun is the only star, turned out that all of them are like sun(and even with naked eye we can see thousands, and 100 billion in milky way). Then people believed that there's only one galaxy, and turned out there are 2 trillion even in observable universe only(yes, more than stars in milky way).
So it's expected to find many other universes in very great numbers, later on find other multiverses in even greater ones, and so on to infinity

Ok, let's be quick. Firstly, no one would give money to Pascal's mugger because propability of somebody being a mugger while being actually very rich is de-facto zero. Add to that the fact that he initially wanted to take your money without paying back, and if he's rich, he can just return home and use his money. For those who disagree, imagine that instead someone dressed as businessman would ask you to give him money because he forgot his wallet and phone, and ran out of gas. Most people would give money to such guy, as long as it's a reasonable amount.
Secondly, I think Longtermists overestimate the risk of certain things, like asteroids(all big ones are tracked), nuclear war(not enough bombs to destroy civilization) or AI(almost certainly won't exceed human performance before we learn how to digitalise our consciousness)
