Dreyfus Premier 

Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. 

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from November 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008.

Although the international equity markets have declined due to concerns that the recent turbulence in the U.S. economy might dampen global economic growth, we recently have seen signs of potential improvement. Throughout the last six months, the Federal Reserve Board and other central banks have reduced short-term interest rates and injected liquidity into their banking systems, helping to reassure investors. At Dreyfus, we believe that the current period of global economic uncertainty is likely to be relatively brief by historical standards, but the ensuing recovery may be gradual as financial deleveraging and housing price deflation continue to weigh on economic activity in the United States and other nations that depend on exports to U.S. businesses and consumers.

The implications of our economic outlook for the international stock markets generally are positive. Recent selling pressure has created attractive values in a number of areas, including among many of the world’s largest multinational companies.Your financial advisor can help you assess current risks and take advantage of these longer-term opportunities within the context of your overall investment portfolio.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s Portfolio Manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2008, Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of –5.38%, Class B shares produced –5.80%, Class C shares produced –5.75%, Class I shares produced –5.27% and Class T shares produced –5.50% .¹ In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World Index”), provided a –9.37% total return for the same period.²

Although global equities generally declined due to concerns stemming from a credit crisis and U.S. economic slowdown, stocks of well-established, global companies with strong finances and dominant brands fared relatively well.Because the fund primarily invests in such companies, it produced higher returns than its benchmark over the reporting period.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund invests primarily in large, well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times. We focus on purchasing large-cap,“blue-chip” stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals.The result is a portfolio of stocks of prominent companies selected for their sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential.The fund pursues a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy in which we typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help to reduce investors’ tax liabilities and the fund’s trading costs.³

Economic and Credit Woes Undermined Stock Prices

A credit crisis that began over the summer of 2007 in the U.S.sub-prime mortgage market intensified during the reporting period, causing

The Fund 3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

global investors to reassess their attitudes toward risk.At the same time, the U.S. economy suffered a sharp slowdown triggered by plummeting housing prices, and signs of economic weakness began to appear in Europe and other regions.The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and other central banks attempted to address the credit crisis by injecting liquidity into their banking systems. In addition, the Fed tried to forestall a full-blown recession by aggressively reducing short-term U.S. interest rates from 4.75% at the start of the reporting period to 2% by the end. The financials sector was hit particularly hard by the credit crisis, which produced massive losses among major commercial and investment banks throughout the world.

Leading Companies Held Up Well in a Flight to Quality

In this challenging environment, the fund continued to benefit from its longstanding focus on large, global companies with low debt levels, strong management teams and dominant market positions. Increasingly, investors turned away from the smaller, more speculative companies that previously had led the U.S. and international stock markets, and they turned instead to the types of companies in which the fund invests.

The fund’s holdings in the consumer staples sector fared particularly well, as these companies produce goods and services that are in steady demand regardless of economic conditions. Global food producer Nestle benefited from a new management team’s focus on higher-growth businesses. Retail giant Wal-Mart Stores rebounded from weakness in 2007 as cash-strapped consumers sought lower prices. Tobacco leader Altria Group unlocked additional shareholder value by spinning off its international operations into a new company, Philip Morris International, which the fund has continued to hold.

The fund also benefited from underweighted exposure to and strong stock selections within the health care sector. Conversely, the fund held substantially overweighted exposure to the energy area, which fared well as oil prices reached new record highs, helping to support the earnings of industry leaders Chevron, Exxon Mobil,Total and ConocoPhillips.

4

The fund received less attractive returns from a handful of other holdings. Industrial giant General Electric declined after reporting disappointing earnings in early 2008, and luxury goods purveyor Christian Dior declined amid consumer spending concerns. Some of the fund’s larger financials holdings,including Citigroup and UBS,were hurt by sub-prime related losses.The fund’s lack of investment in the relatively strong utilities sector also subtracted from its returns compared to the benchmark.

Large-Cap Leadership Expected to Persist

A market rally in the U.S. in April apparently reflected renewed optimism that the worst of the credit crisis and economic downturn may be behind us. Nonetheless, we expect global investors to continue to favor large growth companies over the foreseeable future.To take fuller advantage of this and other trends, we established a number of new positions during the reporting period, including consumer electronics producer Apple, global industrial conglomerate ABB Limited, Mexican beverage company FEMSA, oil services provider Halliburton and mining firm Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold.We eliminated the fund’s positions in energy company BP and global bank UBS due to management problems and sub-prime losses, respectively.

1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
	consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the
	applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and
	Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance
	is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon
	redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
2	SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of net dividends and, where applicable,
	capital gain distributions.The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an
	unmanaged index of global stock market performance, including the United States, Canada,
	Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East.
3	Achieving tax efficiency is not a part of the fund’s investment objective, and there can be no
	guarantee that the fund will achieve any particular level of taxable distributions in future years. In
	periods when the manager has to sell significant amounts of securities (e.g., during periods of
	significant net redemptions or changes in index components) funds can be expected to be less tax
	efficient than during periods of more stable market conditions and asset flows.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES 

WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited) 

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended April 30, 2008
	Class A	Class B	Class C	Class I	Class T
Expenses paid per $1,000 †	$ 6.07	$ 10.47	$ 9.72	$ 4.87	$ 7.22
Ending value (after expenses)	$1,018.85	$1,014.47	$1,015.22	$1,020.04	$1,017.70

^† Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.21% for Class A, 2.09% for Class B, 1.94% for 

Class C, .97% for Class I and 1.44% for Class T, multiplied by the average account value over the period, 

multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( U n a u d i t e d )

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim”) serves as sub-investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years.The fund does not offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividends reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase and Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund 19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at

20

the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

The Fund 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management banks whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

During the current year, the fund adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in

22

the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year.The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the fund for the period ended April 30, 2008.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The fund has an unused capital loss carryover of $26,093,919 available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2007. If not applied, $1,983,233 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2008, $6,194,382 expires in 2011 and $17,916,304 expires in fiscal 2012.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, was as follows: ordinary income $6,102,787.The tax character of the current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing.

The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended April 30, 2008, was approximately $168,800, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 3.88% .

(b) Under a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class T shares. During the period ended April 30, 2008, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $160,674, $325,653 and $5,218, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor, at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain ser-vices.The services provided may include personal services relating to

The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended April 30, 2008, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $700,527, $53,558, $108,551 and $5,218, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

During the period ended April 30, 2008, the fund was charged $91,070 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York, a subsidiary ofBNY Mellon and a Dreyfus affiliate, under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended April 30, 2008, the fund was charged $32,106 pursuant to the cash management agreement.
